Ben Rosenthal Selected as Finalist for Leadership Excellence Award

We're proud to share that CEO and Co-President Ben Rosenthal has been named a finalist for D CEO's inaugural Leadership Excellence Awards in the Private Company Leader of the Year category.

This new program from D CEO Magazine recognizes North Texas executives who lead with purpose — honoring not just business results, but intentional leadership, strong culture-building, ethical decision-making, and long-term impact. The inaugural class drew a strong response, with more than 400 nominations submitted across a dozen categories, representing public and private companies, emerging businesses, and nonprofits throughout the region.

Being named among this year's finalists is a testament to Ben's leadership at Standard Meat Company and the standard he's helped set for the company's continued growth and success. Ben and the remaining finalists will be featured in the September issue of D CEO Magazine, and the winner will be announced September 17.

Congratulations, Ben — this recognition is well-deserved!
