ABOUT CHRIS SHATTO
Hospitality growth creates pressure long before it creates results. I’ve seen it from the inside, when volume increases, when operations add layers, and when leadership depth determines whether teams thrive or strain.Before recruiting, I spent more than 25 years leading hotel operations across food & beverage, banquets, and multi-department environments. That experience shapes how I evaluate leadership today, not just titles or résumés, but decision-making, situational awareness, and the ability to lead through complexity.Today, I work with ownership groups and leadership teams across North Carolina and Missouri to identify, attract, and place hospitality leaders who are prepared for growth, whether that growth comes through scale, operational complexity, or rising guest expectations.I’m not interested in quick placements. I focus on long-term alignment for organizations, leaders, and the teams they support.
