Jenifer Kern is a four-time CMO, a renowned tech influencer, content publisher, and podcast personality in the restaurant community. In 2019 she joined Qu and got “bit by the hospitality bug.” Raised by a gourmet cook (and Julia Child on TV), she’s had hospitality boiling in her blood since a young age.
At Qu, she’s been able to combine her passions for innovative technology and hospitality, launching the industry’s first unified commerce platform and supporting the company through an over 10x growth rate … and still growing.
In 2020, she founded the podcast “Restaurants Reinvented” for the purpose of elevating the role of CMOs and women in the restaurant industry. Since then she’s interviewed many of the brightest minds in the quick-service industry, running a CTO Technology Series, Labor Series, and Women Leadership Series.
She has a keen interest in transforming hearts, minds, and industries to meet the needs of the highly-connected, digital consumer.
