Edita Cruz To Retire From Martha’s Kitchen

Martha’s Kitchen announced recently that Edita Cruz, its Executive Director, has decided to retire effective August 30, 2019. Bill Lee will serve as CEO upon Cruz’

retirement. Cruz has served in her current position since November 2002, and prior to that, served in various capacities in the high-tech world starting

with IBM in 1974 then with Apple Computer in 1988, Hewlett-Packard in 1996 and at a start-up in 1999. When Cruz was laid off during the high tech bust of 2001, she said, “I thought then that it was the most devastating event of my life especially since my husband was laid off at the same time!” As it turned out, that paved the way for her landing a position at Martha’s Kitchen starting as Associate Executive Director. “This has been the most fulfilling position I have ever had! And it would not have happened if I had not been laid off.” Cruz’ first project was the kitchen construction which was finished in 2004. The old kitchen was demolished to make way to a much bigger commercial kitchen about 6 times the size of the old.
