Philosophy

human•kind

"In a city built on algorithms, I built a company on empathy. We use AI to master the logistics, but we use our hearts to master the hospitality."

Founder

Beyond Catering.
Precision Architected.

Most caterers focus on the kitchen; we master the chaos. Tactical timing and operational intelligence are as vital as the menu.

Radically Human

AI ensures surgical efficiency, but the soul of hospitality is care. Every guest is a person, not a data point.

The Luxury of Time

Freedom is the ultimate luxury. With Lena's personal oversight, every operational layer is covered before you ask.

The Elevation Club

Joining High Touch means entering a circle of kindness and indescribable hospitality. By investing with us, you move beyond "catering" to a world of perfect precision and a completely different level of event excellence.

The People Behind Every Flawless Event

Lena Zakharova
Founder & Heart of High Touch

Lena Zakharova

The energy, power, and unlimited care behind the brand. In Russia, Lena was a high-performance coach and motivational speaker—skills she now uses to architect flawless events. Her passion for hospitality has always been evident in the Michelin-level dinners she creates for those she loves. Moving to SF 3 years ago, she rose from server to Senior Manager in record time, and now leads her own mission. Her fearlessness and obsession with quality are what make this company unique.

Elena Fedchenko
Head Chef & Co-Founder

Elena Fedchenko

Motivation, strength, and energy define Elena. Beyond her culinary mastery, she lost 87kg in 8 months out of radical self-love. She believes beauty belongs in everything, from a Balenciaga bag to a perfectly plated dish. Her priority is human connection—personally preparing lunches for servers to ensure the team feels cared for. That is the High Touch philosophy.
