WCK Founder José Andrés named one of U.S. News’ Best Leaders of 2025
WCK founder José Andrés was named one of U.S. News’ Best Leaders of 2025.
At WCK, leadership isn’t about speaking the loudest—it’s about listening the closest. As José told U.S. News, “We must listen, especially when we’re trying to help the people of the world. We cannot impose what we think they should do. We need to listen to what they need from us.”
That spirit guides every meal we serve and every partnership we build in every community where we respond to crisis. José’s approach reminds us that real impact begins with humility, respect, and showing up to learn from the people closest to the crisis.
