With over 20 years of experience in the hospitality world, Cory has spent his career focused on building and enriching hotel & restaurant brands across North America with expertise in the areas of concept development, marketing, and brand strategy; with a strong background in openings & transitions. His work guides the overall vision for new concepts, from inception all the way through to opening operations.

After early hands-on experience in the restaurant world with a number of pre-opening positions, Cory found a unique role within Viceroy Hotel Group; working on new hotel development & transitions with a specialty in pre-opening operations, guest experience, and service design. He then started his own consultancy where, in total, Cory has been a part of the launch of over 10 hotels and 15 restaurants, from independent boutique properties to rapidly growing restaurant groups. Recently, he had an in-house role as Head of Marketing, PR & Creative for Sustainable Restaurant Group, growing two brands nationwide with 15+ locations.

Now, Cory is focused on building his own hotel & restaurant concepts and as well as consulting on brand development for a number of inspired hospitality groups. He most recently opened his marquis project, The Madrona, in Healdsburg, California and is currently leading the reintroduction of legacy restaurant group, Izzy’s Steaks & Chops, in San Francisco.
