WELCOME: Testimonials

Emily worked as the Director of Sales for our restaurant group for over 7 years, growing the private events business from $200,000 to over $1,500,000. The key to her success was developing a thoughtful, strategic growth plan to grow the business - she knew the economics of the business, where and how to market it, and how to position our venues in the marketplace, and worked hard to deliver on that plan, and to adjust it as needed.   


So when Emily decided to go our on her own I immediately engaged her on a feasibility study for a mixed use building that my real estate group was looking at. We needed to know what the spaces might generate top and bottom line as well as guidance in facility design & layout to see what changes could drive maximum revenues. And we needed the answers quickly. Emily delivered on this tight schedule, and in a polished, professional format that I was able to present without a single edit. Ultimately her work has helped cement this deal, and we now look forward to working with her on Phase 2 planning.
