Abbey Lewis has joined the FoodService Director team as managing editor. In her new role, Lewis will take on day-to-day management of the magazine while reporting on ideas, trends and innovation in the noncommercial sector. 

Lewis comes to FSD with nearly 10 years of experience on the CSP and Convenience Store Products brands at Winsight Media.

“We’re thrilled to have Abbey join the FoodService Director editorial staff with her background in the food industry and especially convenience retailing,” says William D.
