BIO
Co-founder and COO at Byte Kitchen. For the past 30 years I have led operations for several large Bay Area restaurant companies, building and opening over 30 restaurants. I served as a director of the California Restaurant Association, and as an early advisor to restaurant tech companies OpenTable, Proven and Rezku. I earned my BA at the University of Virginia. I’m excited to be a part of the next chapter of the restaurant industry.
