HYDE PARK, N.Y., Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Culinary Institute of America has appointed Rupa Bhattacharya executive director of Strategic Initiatives and Industry Leadership. Bhattacharya brings extensive experience driving conversation and demonstrable change at the intersection of food and culture. She succeeds Greg Drescher, who, after nearly three decades spearheading the college's industry-focused initiatives, will be transitioning to a half-time senior advisor role for the college in March.

Bhattacharya will build on the strong foundation Drescher created for the college's thought leadership programs, including Menus of Change®, a long-running joint initiative with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the Worlds of Flavor® International Conference and Festival—driving innovation and leadership around health, sustainability and cultural discovery and inclusion for foodservice operators and allied professionals in the restaurant and foodservice industry.

"I am delighted to announce the appointment of Rupa Bhattacharya to our industry leadership team," said CIA President Dr. Tim Ryan. "Her deep experience—from the kitchen to the world of media—sets the stage for continued innovation and excellence in our programming."

Prior to joining the CIA, Bhattacharya served as global editor-in-chief of VICE media's MUNCHIES, and also as VICE's acting editorial director of culture. She previously worked as a senior editor at Lucky Peach, served as food & beverage editor for Food Network, and was an associate cookbook editor at HarperCollins Publishers. Bhattacharya is a graduate of Yale University and the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center. She is an active mentor to young writers, a competitive powerlifter, and an avid cook.

"I am looking forward to continuing the important work of the CIA's Strategic Initiatives Group, and to building the future of industry leadership at the college," Bhattacharya said.
