Chief Food Officer

I asked once a recruitment guy from Google "so, tell me more about the food" and the answer was around the lines "well, we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner... let me think yesterday we had bacon and eggs, baby back ribs..." anyway you will get the idea.

To keep all those meals coordinated you will need a Chief Food Officer or CFO and to show the importance of this position for the stock price Google let him present in one of the quarterly conference calls (here). Because this person is critical for the success of any company it made a big splash when he moved on to facebook:

"THE most telling indicator of the prospects of Silicon Valley's technology firms is now clear. It is the cooks. The insightful few on Wall Street who understood this in 1999 are now rich. That year, Google, which had just 40 employees at the time, held a cook-off to anoint its “chief food officer”. Charlie Ayers, who had once fed the Grateful Dead, won. Over the next six years, he led Google, which was also dabbling in web searches and online advertising, to dominance in its core competency: ample, free, organic and exotic food."
