Bloomin’ CEO David Deno cites executive’s restaurant operations background
Bloomin’ Brands Inc. has promoted Sheilina Henry to president of its Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, the company announced Thursday.
Tampa, Fla.-based Bloomin’ said Henry will be responsible for leading operations and development for the company’s fine-dining brand.
“Sheilina’s extensive background in operations and her drive and passion for excellence will help create a meaningful impact at this exceptional brand,” said David Deno, Bloomin’ CEO, in a statement. “New restaurant growth is a priority at Fleming’s, and it is as close as the new flagship location that recently broke ground across the street from the restaurant support center in Tampa.”
Henry has more than 20 years of experience in restaurant operations, training, and project management. She joined Bloomin’ Brands in 2012 as an Outback Steakhouse joint venture partner.
She was promoted to vice president for training and development in 2016, regional vice president of operations in 2019, and group vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion in 2020. She most recently added leadership for off-premises dining to her senior vice president responsibilities.
Bloomin’ Brands Inc. owns, franchises, and operates more than 1,450 restaurants in 47 states, territories and 13 countries. In addition to Fleming’s, its brands include Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, and Bonefish Grill.
