Featured Chef & Restaurant Owner - Lisa Altenburg
Lisa Altenburg was raised in Columbus, Ohio and graduated with a degree in corporate finance from Clemson University. After college graduation, she spent close to one year travelling throughout Australia and New Zealand before starting her corporate career in the mortgage industry.
Lisa moved to Denver, Colorado in 2004 to work for Clayton Fixed Income Services, formerly, The Murrayhill Company. At Clayton, she managed a team who provided mortgage and real-estate market risk management solutions including residential loan due diligence and servicing oversight. In 2006, Lisa took a position with Janus Funds and worked in the Corporate Finance department, where she worked on allocations and produced the internal monthly management report.
Prior to Lisa’s career in corporate finance, most of her experience was in the hospitality industry. Growing up in a large Italian family, food and entertaining were always a priority. She likes to say that the industry “gets into your blood and you can’t shake it.” Lisa always had a dream that she would one day own her own business in food service; so when she met Yvonne Lo, previous owner of Y.Lo Epicure Catering in 2008, she decided to follow that dream.
Over 12 years later, Y.Lo Epicure Catering is still thriving as a premier corporate and custom catering company in metro Denver. Lisa has grown the business over 700% since the purchase by offering exceptional food quality and customer service. Y.Lo Epicure Catering was a finalist in the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce small business awards and also won Top Denver Caterer by the 7news A-List Contest. Lisa’s passion for the food service industry and lasting relationships with employees and clients are the perfect recipe for success!
Outside of Y.Lo Epicure Catering, Lisa has been able to give back to her community by serving on several non-profit boards including, Girls on the Run, Cherry Creek Chamber of Commerce and Wishbone Foundation. With her background in corporate finance and experience running a successful small business, Lisa has proven to be an asset to these organizations. She is also very committed to her personal health and fitness and remains physically active with golf, skiing, running, hiking and yoga. Most importantly, Lisa spends all of her free time with her husband Dax and seven year old son Riggs.
Y.Lo Epicure was created in 2002 as a deli in Cherry Creek North by Yvonne Lo. In 2005, Yvonne made the decision to close the doors to her deli and operate in the catering space. In 2008, Lisa Altenburg left her career in finance to pursue her passion as an entrepreneur in the hospitality industry and took over the business. Over the past 13 years, Y.Lo Epicure Catering has soared as a premium corporate and custom caterer in Denver. With services ranging from corporate drop-offs to full-service weddings and events, Y.Lo Epicure keeps its extraordinary level of service and fresh handmade food as it’s priority. They are committed to attention to every detail and providing options for all of your guests, regardless of dietary concerns. Every employee takes great pride and has immense passion in what they do which you will see it with every experience. Additionally, Y.Lo Epicure gives back to the community whenever possible by supporting multiple non-profit organizations. The Y.Lo Epicure team gets it; catering and planning your event can be time consuming and trying. With Y.Lo, you get more...more menu options, more support and ultimately more satisfied guests!
