For Brett Simms, building a meaningful career has always been about learning, growing, and embracing opportunities that open new doors. Today, he serves as Senior Director of Human Resources for Sodexo’s Campus segment, supporting leaders across the Western United States and helping shape a strong, people-focused culture. But his journey didn’t begin in leadership, it began in the campus kitchen at Southern Nazarene University, where a part-time student job with Sodexo became the start of a career filled with growth, purpose, and possibility.
