About Dave Pilarski

IMPROVING THE BOTTOM LINE THROUGH OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND OUTSTANDING PEOPLE As a Senior Operations Executive in the food, beverage and hospitality industries, I’ve been instrumental in helping world-class entities grow their markets, revenues, and profitability. In leadership roles with Max Brenner International, Le Pain Quotidien, Chart House Enterprises, Cosi and The Cheesecake Factory, I’ve compiled an Impeccable record of engaging and leading stakeholders at all levels through strategic roadmaps, major transitions, restructurings and market expansions. Along the way I’ve gained extensive onsite experience in start-up operations while becoming highly knowledgeable in cross-cultural dynamics and multinational business practices in Asia, Pacific Rim, Europe, Russia and US. If you seek a leader with strong expertise in general management, people development, P&L, budgeting, cost of goods sold (COGS), facility oversight and regulatory expertise, please feel free to linkup with me!
