Bio
Linda SanGiacomo
Dave is all the ingredients of a great development talent. He is a disciplined project leader with the branding and design skills to take initiatives to the next level. I had the pleasure of working with Dave on the Johnny Rockets brand refresh and always appreciated his conceptual thinking blended with technical skills. He was is always willing to jump in and think through new and complex ideas. Dave is an all-around exceptional partner and someone I would hike alongside any day!

Dave Panella is without a doubt the most talented development professional I've worked with - period! In the 35 years I've worked in the restaurant industry, I've never found a person that has the design and technical skills that Dave has. These skills, combined with his leadership qualities and understanding of restaurant operations result in work product that is attractive, cost effective and functional. He has also demonstrated the ability to develop and manage a first class development team that consistently delivers projects on time and within budget. Perhaps most importantly, Dave is a critical thinker and contributor to the process of developing effective strategies and tactics to move a business forward. He is truly a fine individual of high character and held in high regard by everyone that he works with.
