MEIKO Canada Appoints Denise Correia as Vice President to Support Strategic Growth in Canada
MISSISSAUGA (July 3, 2025) – Meiko Canada is proud to announce the appointment of Denise Correia as Vice President of Meiko Canada, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strengthening its presence and delivering tailored customer solutions across the Canadian market.
With over 20 years of experience in service, sales, and strategic account management, Denise brings a well-rounded perspective and a deep understanding of the foodservice industry. Her background includes consistent year-over-year sales growth, the expansion of key partnerships, and the successful leadership of high-performing teams across multiple sectors.
“I started on the service side of the business, which gave me a firsthand understanding of customer needs and operational excellence,” said Correia. “As I transitioned into inside sales and eventually into key account leadership, I found my passion in helping clients uncover smarter, scalable solutions that make a meaningful impact.”
Denise joins Meiko with a strong alignment to the company’s core values and future direction. “Meiko’s philosophy—centered on innovation, reliability, and a commitment to clean—resonates deeply with me. Their belief that ‘clean’ is just as important as cooking reflects a level of purpose that I truly admire. Combine that with German engineering, and you have a powerful formula for success.”
In her new role, Denise will work closely with Meiko Canada’s leadership team and global counterparts to help grow the brand’s reach, improve customer engagement, and execute regional strategies. Her initial focus includes understanding the business landscape, connecting with key customers and partners, assessing brand positioning, and helping to shape a strategic roadmap for continued growth and operational excellence.
“This is a unique opportunity to contribute to an industry on the cusp of transformation,” she said. “Commercial dishwashing goes far beyond cleaning—it’s about efficiency, sustainability, hygiene, and improving the overall flow of operations in sectors like foodservice, healthcare, education, and hospitality. Meiko is incredibly well-positioned to lead in these areas, and I’m excited to be a part of that journey.”
Denise’s extensive background across service, inside sales, and key accounts gives her the ability to support Meiko Canada’s cross-functional teams, business partners, and customers with valuable insights from every angle. Her leadership style is rooted in integrity and trust. “Success in sales isn’t about the hard sell. It’s about building relationships, putting people first, and doing the right thing—even when no one’s watching.”
