To Whom it May Concern, I've have known Dana Holzberger for close to 12 years now, and have had the pleasure of working with and for Dana directly over the past three years. I joined the Franchise Support team at Applebee's Services Inc. and worked on a team with Dana for the first year. During that year I found Dana to be the consummate team player helping me transition into my role as Franchise Business Consultant. Her guidance and leadership helped me overcome the obstacles faced with acclimating to my new role with the company. Within in two years after I joined the company Dana was promoted to a Regional Director position where she became my direct supervisor along with a team of 6 others. During the year and half of working for her in a subordinate role I found that her leadership skills continued, actually even escalated, providing a great environment for our team to function collaboratively and productively. She consistently provided the right level of direction while also leaving us with the autonomy to drive and deliver results in a manner that suited the diverse levels of experience and personalities of everyone on the team. She was always available to provide direction and support when needed. She effectively communicated directives that came from her leaders and engaged our team for input and solutions on completing those directives as well as the many responsibilities of each of our positions. Her commitment and loyalty to the members of her team as well as the success of the brand was immeasurable. I would highly recommend Dana for any position that required multi-unit or team leadership skills combined with integrity, loyalty and commitment. Sincerely, Ronald Long Franchise Operations Director Applebee's Service Inc.

I have had the privilege and honor of partnering with Dana to support 12 Franchise groups encompassing over 500 restaurants throughout the Western United States for the past three years. Dana is the epitome of partnership. Dana’s energy, enthusiasm, leadership and embodiment of team mate made her an invaluable ally and colleague. Dana successfully led her team to overturn several highly challenging situations through demanding conditions resulting in landmark results. Dana has been a consummate collaborator with me and the other support team members to find and create the best solutions for her Franchisees. She used her knowledge, expertise and insight to find innovative outcomes that resulted in financial success for the company and the Franchisee. Dana has a clear vision and strategy and easily leads with passion and prudence. In addition to her professional qualities, Dana has personal qualities that make her a well-suited leader. She naturally falls into the role of point-person and subject-matter expert that many of us have gone to with questions and advise. She’s not afraid to take risks and often suggests new directions to explore. Dana was instrumental in introducing and implementing our educational platform for training, for instance, a direction that has proven to be very fruitful and highly beneficial for her groups. She’s committed to quality, growth and progress while she inspires her team to strive for the same. Dana has my highest recommendation for any position she perceives to be her fit. I feel confident she will be a valuable asset to any team and will professionally lead anyone who is fortunate enough to follow her. Please feel free to contact me for any further information.
