PLEASANTON, Calif.,
May 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The
San Francisco Business Times has selected Blackhawk Network
CEO and President, Talbott Roche, as
one of three exceptional female CEOs to receive the publication's
inaugural "Inspire Award: Recognizing Breakthrough Women
Leaders."
The Inspire awards, part of the San Francisco Business
Times' annual "Most Influential Women in Business" publication
that was released last Friday, are presented to Bay Area women who
have recently ascended to the role of CEO, and encourage others
through their story and example. Roche and two other recipients,
Bank of the West CEO Nandita Bakhshi
and PG&E CEO Geisha Williams, will be recognized at the Most
Influential Women in Business Gala Awards dinner on June 14 at the Hilton Union Square in

Roche was appointed CEO of Blackhawk Network in February 2016 and was part of the company's
founding team. She is a payments industry leader who helped grow
Blackhawk from a gift card network
in one grocery chain into a global multichannel stored value and
payments provider that offers clients branded value solutions to
better meet consumers' evolving payments expectations.
In addition to Roche's recognition, Blackhawk Network Chief
Marketing Officer, Teri Llach, has
been named to the San Francisco Business Times "Forever
Influential" honor roll as part of the Most Influential Women in
Business publication. Llach joined Blackhawk in 2001 and her marketing acumen and
business leadership have been significant in building Blackhawk's global business.
