About Ashley Elicker
I\'ve always loved the intimate experiences and relationships that food can create. From a backyard BBQ, to a fine dining dinner for a special occasion, to cooking a chicken noodle soup for a sick loved one. The connections that eating a meal together can provide is what originally drew me to the restaurant industry, and why I am still so passionate about food. Throughout my career, I have had opportunities to work at the Director level in strategy, finance, and operations at Panera Bread and Okemo Mountain Resort, as well as having founded and grown a successful 5-star travel business. This diverse experience enables me to create high level strategies while understanding the operational impact for more effective and efficient rollouts of new growth initiatives.
