Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches - We Deliver & Cater!

I am a seasoned professional with a career-long record of operational leadership and restaurant technology management experience. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for overseeing and directing a wide range of key IT operations and activities, as well as for spearheading the design and development of systems and platforms and for providing leadership to teams in performing various tasks. Professional focal points include relationship management, team leadership and collaboration, budget management, innovation, contract management, vendor management, roadmap development, brand technology, revenue maximization, profit optimization, system development, operations management, and project management. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and interpersonal skills, as well as business and technical acumen, strategic planning, and problem-solving to support efficiency and maximum success. Currently, I am the Director of Restaurant Technology with Inspire Brands. Under my leadership, I oversee the creation, administration, and allocation of capital and G&A budgets for brand technology and partner with brand executives to set direction and create roadmaps. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership and various other personnel and teams to ensure the company’s restaurant technology support structure is driving the business forward at all times. Colleagues describe me as a driven, innovative, precise, down-to-earth, dynamic, strategic, and information technology expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions and operations that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
