Operations and financial leadership professional with 38 years of experience in high-performance service environments — spanning multi-unit management, P&L accountability, process optimization, operational analytics, and AI-driven systems modernization.
Operations and financial leadership professional with 38 years of experience managing complex, high-performance service environments. Expertise spans multi-unit operations, P&L accountability, labor optimization, process improvement, operational analytics, and AI-driven systems modernization. Known for turning operational complexity into measurable results across national brands, high-volume independents, and multi-concept organizations.
Nearly four decades of operational leadership built on multi-unit management, P&L accountability, labor optimization, and process discipline. I have led complex service operations at volume, under pressure, for national brands and independent organizations — and I understand what it takes to keep an operation profitable, consistent, and well-led at scale.
My financial foundation runs deep: P&L ownership, cost forecasting, labor variance analysis, period-end reporting, and break-even modeling are tools I apply daily — not concepts from a classroom. I hold a BBA in Finance and an MBA from American InterContinental University.
Beyond the operations core, I have built and deployed AI-powered restaurant intelligence systems through Sharkey AI — giving me a working knowledge of operational analytics, workflow automation, and modern hospitality technology that most executives in this space don't have.
That combination — deep operational execution experience paired with modern systems and financial thinking — is what makes this profile different from a typical operations hire.
From large national brands to independent operations — nearly four decades of leading teams, managing financial performance, optimizing processes, and building the systems that drive operational results.
Developed across 38 years of leading complex, high-pressure service environments — and applicable well beyond them.
Developed across nearly four decades of leading complex service operations — from unit-level execution to multi-unit financial oversight and systems design. Applicable across industries where operational performance, financial accountability, and leadership development matter.
Operational intelligence built by someone who has run restaurants — not just studied them. Sharkey AI applies modern analytics and AI tools to the problems operators actually face.
