Background

About Brad Ludington

I am a finance, investment, and operations professional with meticulous attention-to-detail and honed interpersonal skills. In addition to an insatiable drive to deliver results in fast-paced global environments, I possess 15+ years of hands-on success guiding financial strategies and business operations to engage employees and stakeholders at all levels, reduce costs, and increase bottom-line success. I am passionate about building and strengthening relationships with key partners, inspiring team members to achieve their personal and professional best, and managing the full scope of complex projects through to completion. As a Sr. Analyst, Equity Research for KeyBanc Capital Markets, I predicted the turnaround of the restaurant industry in 2009 when other analysts were calling for doom and gloom by looking at past and current trends, following other data points, and taking the pulse of key industry players on the ground by visiting restaurants and corporate headquarters. Prior to working at Keybanc, I presided over unprecedented annual revenue growth for Lonesome Dove Western Bistro and supported the successful launch of Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in NYC by developing effective policies and procedures, training the staff, and establishing solid key performance indicators.
