About Kristie Lester

As a highly versatile professional with a strong background spanning hospitality, operations management, and sales technology, I have spent the past several years honing my skills in high-pressure environments, managing teams, and executing large-scale projects. My experience ranges from restaurant management to sales system administration, with a focus on delivering exceptional customer service and ensuring operational efficiency. I have managed both front and back-of-house operations, led financial management processes, and spearheaded event coordination for a variety of clients. In addition to my time as a General Manager, Chef, and Server/Bartender in the restaurant industry, I transitioned into the hospitality tech space, where I’ve supported Sales, Billing, and System Management roles. I’ve worked with complex systems like Delphi, SynXis, and Salesforce, implementing new connections and providing support for large-scale properties. Whether in a restaurant or the tech world, I thrive in dynamic environments, collaborating with cross-functional teams to solve problems, streamline operations, and drive business success. I’m passionate about integrating technology and data-driven solutions to improve processes, reduce costs, and enhance the customer experience. Currently, I’m focused on building my career in the tech sector, aiming to leverage my experience in system administration, project management, and operational leadership to bring value to innovative organizations. I am always seeking opportunities to collaborate with like-minded professionals, take on new challenges, and continue my personal and professional growth.
