Foodservice-management company Proof of the Pudding has promoted LaTosha Marks to senior vice president of human resources.

Marks previously served as vice president of human resources for nearly two years at the Atlanta-based firm.

Marks will continue to oversee the company’s HR strategy and is responsible for human resources operations, compensation and benefits, employee engagement, talent acquisition, management and retention, and safety and wellbeing initiatives for Proof of the Pudding’s more than 2,000 employees.

She has championed a ‘best-in-class’ employee experience and ensures we continue to build a great workforce and culture.”
