Casey is a highly respected figure in the tech industry and brings a wealth of experience and passion to the hospitality tech company, currently in the final stages of its first capital raise via Snowball Effect.
As global sales manager, Casey will be responsible for leading and managing First Table’s sales team across multiple countries.
His primary focus will be on developing and implementing sales strategies to sign up and onboard new restaurants to the First Table platform, work with the team to launch new cities and products and deepen relationships with existing restaurant partners.
