SKILLS
ABOUT KENT SUGIURA
I specialize in the chaos-to-scale phase of global brand evolution—building the operating systems and commercial frameworks that allow companies to capture revenue without proportionally scaling cost.At Pizza Hut (YUM! Brands), I lead global Must-Win missions focused on revenue growth through third-party marketplace strategy across international markets. I authored the Food Aggregator Playbook—the global framework now used by regional CMOs to standardize operations and pricing—and restructured the company\'s discounting architecture to shift from reactive price-cutting to sustainable margin expansion. This work has been formally recognized by the President/COO of Pizza Hut Global and the Global Chief Brand Officer for driving organizational alignment and unlocking stalled revenue streams.Previously at DoorDash, I re-engineered global infrastructure during the pre-IPO surge, leading the operational integration of Caviar during the pandemic and scaling service capacity by 300% as the company moved from 35% to 59% market share. This followed my time at Square, where I built the operational foundation for the Caviar business unit, supporting an 800% increase in valuation between its acquisition and its eventual sale to DoorDash.My reputation is built on the ability to decouple headcount from growth by creating operational elasticity. I transform reactive departments into high-yield engines through structural redesign, AI-enabled efficiency, and high-leverage vendor partnerships. I solve the scaling challenges that sit at the intersection of revenue strategy, high-growth technology, and global brand operations.
