Sally Smith, CEO of Buffalo Wild Wings, is number six on our list of the 2014 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers: People.

Smith joined Buffalo Wild Wings as CEO almost two decades ago, when the brand had only 35 units, and during her tenure the Minneapolis-based chain's numbers have been on the rise. After changing the name from BW3 and overseeing a new logo creation, Smith has continued to move the chain in the right direction. Today, it has more than 900 locations and has expanded outside of the United States and Canada. Last year, the popular wing destination launched its first locations in Mexico and is expanding into the Middle East and Puerto Rico.

"As we explore new markets, we take the time to learn about the countries, cultures and potential partners," Smith said.
