Experience, Applied
Where It Matters
Atelier was founded to provide restaurant CEOs and boards with the kind of financial leadership that typically appears only at pivotal moments.
It is built around judgment, perspective, and executive- and board-level decision support—not titles or services.
Atelier works with a limited number of clients so it can operate comfortably at both the executive table and the board table.
THE FOUNDER
Gregg Thomas has spent decades operating at the intersection of restaurant growth, financial leadership, and governance.
He co-led the National Restaurant Practice at a top-five global accounting firm and has served as chairman and audit committee chair of a NYSE-listed company, working directly with CEOs, boards, lenders, and investors through periods of growth, transition, and complexity.
Across all of it, the highest-value contribution was consistent:
helping leadership teams and boards make better decisions.
