Blaine has tremendous enthusiasm and sets a high bar in regard to the future of the company of Panera. His work is inspiring for me and others that want to grow in a career with a prosperous company.", "I had the distinct pleasure of working with Blaine Hurst some years ago as a member of a global EY team developing what was then known as The Navigator System Series Methodology, defining how to leverage the Information Engineering principles into the culture of the EY Global Consulting organization. Blaine inspired the team of members from the US, UK, Australia and other countries. Under Blaine's stewardship the initiative became an international success and rolled out in about one year, resulting in EY consultants working according to the same professional culture globally.", and "I have know Blaine from Boston Market days to Papa John's and beyond. Of course he is a wiz-kid who has always been at the leading edge of harnessing technology to help brand differentiate. In 2000, when the big marketing gurus of the world were betting against online ordering, his vision was instrumental to build the ' world's first and finest restaurant online ordering system'. Today that is a significant part of business for the Big 3 Pizza chains. So in effect one can call Blaine to be the inventor of a new food channel. Earlier there was dine-in, carryout and delivery. Then Blaine n team added Online Ordering. More than being a visionary, Blaine's biggest strength is how he touched his team. I remember when I came to interview at Papa John's, Blaine coming to the airport himself at 10:30pm at night to pick me up. Yes, he was the president. His personal investment in each of us, he believing in our capabilities, he pushing us to exceed our own expectations.... all these made each of us (his direct reports) to go way beyond our normal capabilities. How else can I explain my portfolio of projects at Papa John's to include...1) Identifying the KPIs of the brand 2) Work with Hart to roll-out fresh mushrooms in all stores in 2 weeks 3) Champion on-line ordering 4) Be the project manager of the Pizza Hut competitive battle. As I talk to the ex-Papa John Team, all of us agree that we have all professionally taken a giant leap because of our leader, Blaine E. Hurst."
