Background

About Ryan Dobbie

I’m an experienced hospitality operations manager with over a decade working across some of Melbourne’s busiest and most iconic venues. My strength lies in staying calm under pressure, building strong teams, and running venues that are both efficient and enjoyable — for guests and staff alike. Over the years, I’ve worked my way from the floor to senior leadership, managing large teams and multi-venue operations. I’ve led teams through acquisitions, rebuilt systems from the ground up, and turned around venues that were underperforming financially — all while keeping the focus on people, culture, and consistency. I’m most engaged when I’m solving problems, setting up smart systems, and supporting others to do their best work. I take pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, and I’m always looking for better ways to operate.
