Topher George

I’m a service-driven professional with progressive leadership experience across food service, retail, hospitality, and education environments. I’m known for steady leadership, operational efficiency, and keeping people focused even when priorities shift fast.

In customer-facing roles like Graduate Hotel and retail/service environments (Warby Parker, Target, Naz’s Halal Food), I adapted quickly to high-demand settings and shifting priorities. When issues came up, I de-escalated concerns through calm communication and solution-focused service.

In leadership and operations roles at Togo’s Sandwiches, MOD Pizza, and Starbucks, I oversaw scheduling, inventory, sanitation compliance, and service standards. I maintained quality and satisfaction in high-volume environments while keeping the team aligned and operations running smoothly.

I also bring coaching and community facilitation experience from marching band instruction and independent group coordination. I reinforced performance technique, timing accuracy, and field coordination skills, and I designed and evaluated engagement strategies for in-person and remote groups based on real-time feedback and participation.
