Bambuza Hospitality Group

At Bambuza Hospitality Group we don't just create our own award-winning restaurant concepts, we enthusiastically embrace our franchise partnerships! And nobody does it like our CEO & President, Katherine Lam, and COO Daniel L. Nguyen. “We are two very different individuals. Daniel has a set of gifts that I don’t have and I vice versa,” Lam said. “The key is really the trust among the two of us between our relationship when we work together … We are each other’s sounding boards, and that’s been very beneficial to our growth and also to our benefit for the company.” Thank you to Alyssa Huglen and the Franchise Times for your insightful article on our growth in the airport concessions world, our commitment to our communities, and the powerhouse partnership that guides us every day.

Congratulations to our fearless leader, Katherine Lam, who received an Executives of the Year award from Portland Business Journal last week! Katherine’s leadership is the heart of Bambuza Hospitality Group. She leads with personal integrity, a deep sense of stewardship, and a passion for community—values that define not just our company, but the impact we strive to make every day. This recognition is so well deserved, and we couldn’t be more proud. Please join us in celebrating Katherine and this amazing achievement! ???? #Leadership #ExecutivesOfTheYear #BambuzaHospitalityGroup #womanled #CEO #congratulations

This week, Oregon Business Council (OBC)'s annual leadership summit highlighted the importance of collective effort as Oregon's businesses, community, and elected leaders collaborate to support the exciting opportunities Oregon has to both thrive locally and to compete on a global scale. Bambuza Hospitality Group CEO & President Katherine Lam, joined Nikki Guerrero of Hot Mama Salsa, food connector extraordinaire Hannah Kathryn Kullberg, and Mike Thelin, a mainstay of Oregon's food and beverage community, to talk about the combined need for better storytelling, support for innovative programming, and incentivization for structural and logistical development to help the food and beverage industry grow here in Oregon. Oregon has all the makings of a world-class food and beverage destination — innovative thinkers and creatives, high-quality food ingredients, a unique wine country, and a hard-working community of entrepreneurs ready to put in the effort. Working together there is nothing we can't achieve! Thank you to Malia Spencer for capturing the spirit of this moment and movement in the Portland Business Journal.
