• Operational management of enterprise menu programs, emergency preparedness for foodservice operations, supplier relationships, and daily enterprise-wide foodservice functions.
• Oversight of the enterprise database architecture and ongoing maintenance of Trinity Health’s unified FANS ERP application, including food formularies, diet order sets, and menu structures.
• Program governance leadership, ensuring standardization, compliance, and effective execution of enterprise initiatives across all markets.
• Leadership of complex, cross-functional projects that impact system-wide performance, efficiency, and scalability.
• Coaching and development of leaders to promote consistent operations, readiness for future growth, and strong organizational culture.
