MKA is our main endeavor and since 1989 we have specialized  in the development and execution of growth strategies for a select group of clients in the foodservice and retail industries. It was a long journey and today our client list includes companies in the restaurant, hotel, cruise line, entertainment, manufacturing, managed services and foodservice equipment sectors. It's a complex business but an environment of change and challenge is what I have valued all my working life.

​

A small sampling of the companies, chains, hotel groups, industry boards, equity groups and retail stores we have had the privilege of working with over the last 27 years.
