It was fortuitous perhaps that my very first steps toward joining the work force, discovering where my real passions lied, and realizing just what my true potential could be would auspiciously already be guiding me along cordialities path. Now, utilizing a 17 year track record of progressively impacting the performance & profitability for a wide variety of industry specific service establishments in the Chicago land area, from prestigious Michelin Star award winning restaurants to "At Capacity" nightlife and entertainment hotspots, I’ve partnered with industry leader and pioneer Geoffrey Sands. Fellow hospitality aficionado, Geoffrey is considered by many as Chicago’s premier revolutionary guru wielding a stellar resume with more than 21 years of firsthand innovation, experience, insight, and expertise. Capitalizing on our nearly 40 years of combined, hands on, real world knowledge, our diverse yet fundamental understanding of this industry’s governing dynamics, in 2012 we created and co-founded the Progressive Hospitality Group. Adaptively developed to be cutting-edge, our consulting services focus on our clients' most critical issues and opportunities: strategy, marketing, organization, operations, technology and mergers & acquisitions, across all industries and geographies. We bring deep, functional expertise, but are known for our holistic perspective: we capture value across boundaries and between the silos of any organization. We have proven a multiplier effect from optimizing the sum of the parts, not just the individual pieces.
