Lori is an inspirational leader whose work is characterized by highly engaged, high-performing teams. Lori attains success by leading and developing people rather than simply "managing stores." Her developmental approach to leadership assures that teams under her supervision learn how to creatively confront and overcome obstacles, drive sales and create customer relationships. Rarely have I ever seen an operator or leader that inspires such tremendous loyalty from her teams as Lori does. I would recommend Lori without reservation for any leadership position in which team and systems development, consistent goal achievement and accountability are valued.

I first worked with Lori at Select Restaurants Inc., her first position post college graduation. Her leadership talent was evident quite early in her career. She fast tracked to general manager and was well respected by peers and supervisors. A few years later, I invited her to join Rock Bottom Restaurants Inc. Although I did not directly supervise Lori at Rock Bottom, I was witness to her success. She is powerful in a variety of areas; contagious, enthusiastic leader/mentor, effective communicator at any level, can assimilate to change seamlessly, solid analytical/financial management skills, natural rapport with others, and a work ethic above reproach. Given any opportunity, I would choose to work with Lori again! If her humility was abandoned, she could fill a stadium with her champions.
