Walk-On’s Adds 2 to Leadership Team

Two are joining the leading lineup at Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux. Jennifer Pecoraro-Striepling takes on the role of chief development officer, while Chris Porcelli joins the company as its chief financial officer.

Here’s a bit more about each individual and their duties:

• Pecoraro-Striepling is no stranger to the industry, having worked with brands including Papa Johns, Bloomin Brands and Darden Restaurants to drive growth, foster collaborative teams and implement “robust” processes, says a release. She brings expertise in design, construction, facilities, real estate and franchising. At Walk-On’s, she will oversee development initiatives as the brand continues its nationwide expansion. “My aim is to foster growth by implementing innovative strategies and building collaborative teams,” she says.
• Porcelli, meanwhile, will lead finance, accounting, analytics, supply chain and human resources for Walk-On’s. He has over 15 years of extensive accounting and operations experience. Porcelli hails from Driven Brands, the same automotive company where CEO Chris Dawson came from. “I’m excited to lead Walk-On’s on a transformative journey by making strategic investments in our support and infrastructure,” says Porcelli. “We’re laying the groundwork for a data-driven, best-in-class, scalable platform that will not only meet our current needs but also propel us into the future.”

“Both Chris and Jennifer bring a wealth of experience and proven leadership in their respective fields, which will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux,” says Dawson. “Their expertise will be instrumental in driving our brand forward, enhancing our financial performance, and expanding our presence.”
