NEW LEADERSHIP APPOINTMENT
As Velvet Taco continues to expand nationally, the Tribe has proudly welcomed industry leader Brooke Perry. Perry, who previously served as Vice President of Marketing for Original ChopShop, is a dynamic brand leader with a reputation for driving innovation, creativity and brand equity in hospitality and retail industries. Most recently, Perry led a cross functional team and successfully positioned the brand for success through omni-channel efforts including online ordering, loyalty and a branded app. Perry’s expertise with new market entry will be a benefit as Velvet Taco continues explosive domestic growth. Before joining Original ChopShop and bellagreen, Perry was a senior brand leader at publicly traded Jamba Juice from 2016 to 2018, managed Dallas Fort Worth guest experience for the Target Corporation, and was instrumental in early stages of growth with Zoe’s Kitchen.

She has a strong record of delivering results through the development of authentic integrated sales and marketing strategy, methodical execution and digital innovation. As VP of Marketing at Velvet Taco, Perry will direct day-to-day marketing functions, oversee brand building programs, and collaborate with fellow members of Velvet Taco’s Executive Leadership Team.
