What does it take to lead an iconic brand through transformation while navigating shifting markets, evolving customer tastes, and operational complexity? Join us for a compelling conversation with Damola Adamolekun, Chief Executive Officer of Red Lobster, as he shares hard-earned insights from the front lines of strategy, leadership, and brand revitalization. Tony Hill, Principal, Business Development at Trivest, will lead the conversation.
In this fireside chat, Damola will dive into the intersection of vision and execution—how strategic thinking meets the gritty realities of running one of the largest casual dining chains in the world. From rethinking operations to redefining the guest experience (yes, including those legendary Cheddar Bay Biscuits), he’ll reflect on what it means to lead with clarity, act with agility, and stay anchored in purpose.
Whether you're passionate about hospitality, business transformation, or simply love a good behind-the-scenes story—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Key themes include:
- Strategic decision-making in high-stakes environments
- Reinvigorating a beloved brand in a competitive landscape
- Leadership lessons from overseeing thousands of employees and locations
- The Restaurant Industry/M&A
- Personal takeaways from leading through change
