Michael Marsico

Area Director at Cooper’s Hawk Winery

Hospitality executive with 25+ years of progressive leadership — spanning multi-unit operations, corporate strategy, beverage optimization, and high-volume restaurant management. 

I’ve led teams across multiple states, rebuilt declining business lines, strengthened field readiness, and driven brand-wide execution from both the Support Center and the field.

My leadership style blends operational discipline with a people-first mindset. Throughout my career, I’ve built strong, promotable teams, rebuilt underperforming markets, and helped shape national strategies that improved consistency, guest experience, and profitability.

One of my proudest accomplishments was reversing a decade of beverage-mix decline for the brand and achieving 15 consecutive periods of beverage growth through innovation, education, pricing strategy, and alignment with field operators.

I thrive in roles where I can elevate performance, simplify operations, and inspire teams to deliver exceptional experiences. I’m now exploring senior-level opportunities in hospitality operations, multi-unit leadership, beverage/food & beverage strategy, or consulting roles where my background in large-scale execution can add value.
