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 twenty hotels and 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 over fifteen locations.
Now, Cory is focused on building his own concepts, as well as consulting on brand strategy for a number of inspired, hospitality-minded companies. He most recently opened his marquee hotel project, The Madrona, in Healdsburg, California and led the reintroduction of legacy restaurant group, Izzy’s Steaks & Chops, in San Francisco.
