🤝 Meet Hamed Harizi who joined Chipotle in 2013 as a crew member. Despite not having restaurant experience at the time, Hamed was determined to make the most of his opportunity.   🎓 Hamed’s manager, Team Director Mark Pasquale, encouraged him to pursue higher education. Utilizing our debt-free degree program through Guild, Hamed earned his Bachelor’s degree in Business Leadership and Management and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Bellevue University. 🏅 Guided by his tireless efforts and supportive peers and mentors, Hamed became a General Manager. In 2019, Hamed's Regional Vice President Jose Ortiz empowered him to take an extended vacation so he could visit Tunisia and spend time with his family, who he hadn’t seen in 11 years. 📈 Today, Hamed is celebrating over a decade with Chipotle and is now a Field Leader, focused on developing three Certified Training Managers into Field Leaders and providing the same support he once received. 📢 Hamed says he is grateful for Chipotle for helping him feel safe and included, respecting his culture and beliefs and creating an environment where he can grow and thrive. We are beyond lucky to have Hamed as an emerging leader in our organization!

At the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee, we brought back the 🐝 Chipotle Bee, For Real 🐝, inviting young spellers to face off with two very different word lists. ❌ One featured complicated, artificial ingredients commonly used by other national restaurant brands, words like "sorbitan monostearate," "non-chlorofluorocarbon propellant," and "pentosanase." 🥑 The other? Only the 53 real, nourishing ingredients found in Chipotle's food. Think cilantro, avocado, tomato and red onion, just to name a few!
