In her 20+ year career in hospitality, Kelly’s skill for training has grown into a passion for leading and developing others. She’s had the pleasure of leading the creation of a TM to GM career development program, where over 100 Team Members have turned their passion into purpose by advancing their career into a position of leadership. Through experience opening over 80 new restaurant locations, she’s discovered that great training aligns what we do with what we say we do, and great business performance begins by pouring into people. Her training mission is to help people grow into the best version of themselves. Kelly is currently Group Director of Training for Whataburger based in San Antonio, TX. She’s also the President-Elect for CHART, the Council of Hotel & Restaurant Trainers and a dog mom of 2 adorable rescues.
Just as we have for the past three years, our WiRL platform hits the stage to gather women executives from around the industry for a conversation on how to elevate, educate, and empower. They’ll share stories, advice on how to supercharge your career, and provide inspiration to a new generation of leaders.
