Who is a future leader? Who’s going on to greater things? TheStadiumBusiness Awards’ Rising Star Award identifies an individual tipped to do just that…
In 2011, our judging panel deemed Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment’s Steven Salm to be ‘one to watch’ – and a worthy first recipient of the Rising Star Award.
Armed with a wealth of experience and an impressive pedigree that defies his young age, Steven was recruited to the Food and Beverage Department at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment’s Air Canada Centre in the summer of 2010.
Charged with creating and developing MLSE’s new fine dining restaurant brand ‘e11even’, Steven has consistently delivered on all fronts to provide an exceptional level of hospitality that has exceeded all expectations. Truly understanding what it takes to achieve success in an industry that consistently pushes you to be the best, Steven’s genuine, caring, and educated approach has won over customers and peers’ loyalty in an incredibly short period of time, while his personal style is incredibly engaging; allowing him to be one of the most connected and creative minds in the industry.
Steven (pictured above) was elated at winning the Award. “I am delighted to be honoured as the first recipient of the Rising Star award by TheStadiumBusiness Awards’ judges.
“It is inspiring for Young Entrepreneurs to be recognized for their passion and commitment to the Sports and Entertainment Industry,” continued Steven. “It has been an amazing opportunity to gain this invaluable experience with a world class organization such as Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, and I am truly thankful for this recognition.”
