Oversee a multi-brand, multi-unit operational infrastructure with a relentless focus on unit economics, margins, labor optimization, and guest experience.
Implement world-class processes and KPIs across all brands.
Drive cross-brand synergies in supply chain, procurement, marketing, and G&A.
Build and develop a top-tier executive team capable of scaling aggressively and handling complexity.
Establish a high-performance culture grounded in accountability, clarity, and speed.

Lead new unit development across markets while optimizing existing store portfolios.
Identify and execute opportunities for new market entry, brand extension, and digital expansion.
Drive scalable systems that support rapid growth without losing operational control.
15+ years of multi-unit leadership experience in retail, food & beverage, hospitality, franchising, or consumer services.
Significant experience working with private equity and leading PE-backed organizations.
Proven success in M&A integration, roll-ups, restructuring, or platform-building.
