Executive Overview

My approach combines strategic growth, thoughtful execution, and a focus on people and culture. Moreover, it gets results. Over the course of my career, I’ve led business turnarounds and delivered industry-defining success for large organizations. In my current role, I have helped more than double Chipotle’s share price, achieving an all-time high during the ongoing downturn (while keeping team members and guests safe). Previously, I helped Arby’s achieve 26 consecutive quarters of growth and thrive through the Great Recession. Alongside my work at Chipotle and volunteer work, I am open to pursuing new board-level opportunities. Skills and Specialties Board-level leadership, defining operational strategies, business turnarounds, operations leadership, building teams, franchised businesses, company culture, change management, communications, servant leadership, motivational speaking, training, development and succession planning, developing performance-based cultures, hospitality and service cultures, organizational growth, development, reorganization and transition, corporate social responsibility, non-traditional brand extensions, change management, company operations, human resources, etc.
