Upserve names CEO

November 2, 2018

Restaurant management platform provider, Upserve, has named Sheryl Hoskins as its new CEO, with founder, Angus Davis taking on the role of strategic adviser to the Upserve board of directors.

"Sheryl brings experience and a unique skill set to lead the company through its next phase of growth, and I am excited to welcome her as CEO," Davis said in the release. 

A news release about the appointment said that Hoskins has a track record of driving operational rigor and building teams to scale for growth. She is formerly the chief revenue and product officer for Active Network. 

"Restaurants are an important part of the U.S. economy, making up over $800 billion in US sales and employing over 10 percent of the total workforce," Hoskins said in the release. "With approximately 50 percent of restaurants going out of business by year five, our mission is to buck this trend. With Upserve's intent of providing a world-class solution, we are confident that we can enable these restaurants to thrive."

In addition to Hoskins, Upserve expanded its commercial executive bench this year with the addition of new CMO Andrea Kayal and Executive vice president of sales Kyle Johnson.
