To effectively deliver its services, Summit leverages an extensive supply network.“ We treat suppliers as long-term partners, fostering clear expectations, honest communication, and performance measured by quality, availability, and service,” Roshon says.“ We also prioritize continuity of supply and transparency, because reliability matters just as much as price in our environment.”
People-first leadership approach
On a more personal note, we ask Roshon about his career journey and his approach to his role as President.“ I’ ve built my career in operations and service leadership, with a focus on accountability, people development, and execution,” he shares.“ What I love about Summit is that the work matters every day; we support essential operations, and we do it through strong teams and partnerships.
“ My role as President is to stay close to operations, invest in our people, and strengthen client outcomes through consistency and continuous improvement. Personally, I want to elevate our standards even further when it comes to service, safety, training, and innovation, while building a culture where people are proud of the work we do.”
With strong experience and a clear focus on consistency and innovation, Summit clearly plays a vital role in shaping the daily operations of correctional facilities across the US. By combining high-quality foodservice, advanced commissary technology, strong supplier partnerships, and a people-first leadership approach, Summit delivers solutions that extend beyond just meals.
“ 2026 is about execution and momentum,” Roshon concludes when we ask about the future.“ We’ re focusing on tight operational performance, disciplined cost control, and continued
improvements in service quality. We’ re constantly sharpening consistency across our sites, as well as expanding tools and training that help our teams succeed. In five years, I’ d love for Summit to be the clear standard for correctional foodservice and commissary, known for our reliability, integrity, and measurable performance. That means stronger partnerships, scalable best practices, and a workforce that’ s trained, supported, and proud.” ■
