TurboChef and CookTek Add Trio of Vice Presidents

TurboChef Technologies and CookTek, both Middleby companies, announced three promotions. Sofia Delgado has moved up to vice president of marketing and culinary, while Lewis Beer was named vice president of international sales and Richard Chattaway was appointed vice president of sales for Europe.

In her new role, Delgado will oversee the integrated marketing and culinary strategy for domestic and international launches for the two brands. She will also continue to lead the strategic direction of TurboChef and CookTek’s marketing and culinary initiatives.

As vice president of international sales, Beer will manage regional sales strategies for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC), support distributor and partner development, and work with the marketing and culinary teams. In addition to his expanded role, Beer will also continue to manage the United Kingdom and Ireland territories.

Finally, Chattaway will be responsible for the broader European region, including the Nordics and Benelux area that covers Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. He joined TurboChef in May 2025 after previously working for Lincat, another Middleby company.
