Background

About Chris Meyer

Hospitality executive and entrepreneur with over 25 years of leadership experience across Canada and the U.S, guiding restaurants, breweries, and distilleries through growth, transformation, and operational excellence. As Co-Founder and Owner of Foreleft Hospitality, I helped build and operate four distinct concepts in British Columbia—Noble at the Hills, Wayback Brew Co, Resurrection Spirits, and FRANKS Pizza & Bar—under one scalable operational and financial structure. My approach combines strategic vision with hands-on execution, enabling brand growth, team development, and exceptional guest experiences. Previously, as Vice President of Operations for CFW Group, I led a diverse portfolio spanning Joe Forte’s, The Shore Club, Ki Modern Japanese, Fleetwood’s on Front Street (Maui), and The Grill on the Alley (California). Managing over 500 employees across multiple regions, I gained extensive international operational expertise, navigating complex compliance and labor environments in competitive markets like California. My leadership style is data-driven yet people-focused: I believe that profitability and employee engagement thrive together when strategy, systems, and culture align. I excel at scaling brands, building strong teams, and delivering consistent results in dynamic hospitality landscapes.
