My guest on E293 of #thePOZcast is Kat Cole! Kat is the President and Chief Operating Officer at Athletic Greens. Before joining Athletic Greens in 2021, Kat ran an assortment of brands we all know like Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, Moe's, Schlotzsky's, McAllister's, and Carvel.
Kat got her start waitressing at Hooters, and we’re gonna get into her super inspiring story of rising through the ranks to eventually become the Vice President of Hooters America. She is known for creating insane amounts of growth wherever she goes, and I’m excited to dig into how that’s translated over to her newest chapter at AG.
This is jam packed episode with so much insight and wisdom that I can not wait for you all to listen to! Enjoy!
