Jay Bandy / Goliath Consulting Group
President

As President of Goliath Consulting Group, Jay Bandy has built a broad foundation of expertise in the restaurant industry.

Jay’s record of achievement ranges from McDonald’s USA to RTM to BLIMPIE and now to full service restaurants. He has opened more than 300 restaurants; developed supply chain systems, strategic plans and restaurant operating systems; and trained area developers, franchisees and staff in all facets of the restaurant business. At each of his prior stops, Jay has been recognized for his contributions with several internal awards.

Through Goliath, Jay is now offering a full array of consulting and management services to the industry.

Jay’s broad-based background gives him the know-how to bridge the critical areas of strategic planning, operations, marketing, supply chain, and restaurant development. Restaurants are a complicated puzzle with many moving parts. Jay knows how to put the puzzle together and make it work.

At Goliath, Jay works with restaurant management to assess current conditions – both financial and brand-related. After developing an action plan, Jay directs all members of the Goliath team to deliver results that exceed client expectations. As an expert in understanding how the components of restaurant operating systems tie together, he will make sure that the team maximizes sales opportunities and profit and unit growth based on each client’s vision.

Over the years he’s developed expertise in communications, marketing and developing and rolling out new products. Jay has overseen operations at hundreds of restaurants, written training manuals and coordinated operations. Jay has done a lot of everything in each of his industry positions. He’s also a results-oriented people person, which gives him the skill to bring teams together to achieve their goals.

Before taking the step into consulting, Jay was the McDonald’s Atlanta region deployment manager and a member of the region leadership team. He was responsible for implementing new products and procedures in 755 restaurants throughout the Southeast. He was project manager for McDonald’s specialty coffee and drive-thru initiative — a $70 million project involving 650 restaurants.

Through Goliath, Jay continues to work with regional chains and franchisees but also has successfully consulted with multiple full-service restaurants in the Atlanta area.

Jay has a B.S. in Political Science from the University of Louisville and earned CFM certification from the International Food Service Executives Association. He’s also a graduate of McDonald’s Hamburger University.

Sean Reardon / Zenith & Moxie
CEO

A nine-year Zenith veteran, Sean has moved across multiple facets of the business in his nearly two decades of experience. From account planning, media and strategy to data, insights and technology, Sean is able to connect the dots across disciplines in a way that brings flexibility to our agency and our clients. While he considers himself a “big thinker,” Sean is a firm believer that big ideas are only as good as the ability to execute upon them. He takes tremendous pride in not only generating ideas, but in translating ideas into actionable outcomes that impact the bottom line.

In his freshman year as CEO for Moxie, he has attained a level of unprecedented growth in its 16-year history, adding American Cancer Society, Delta, TaxSlayer, Atlanta Braves and TGI Fridays to the client roster. With even less time since taking the helm at Zenith, he has rendered immediate effect with the retention of 21st Century Fox as a client and injected a tangible spirit into the halls of the company that drives innovation, collaboration and outside-the-box thinking.

Prior to taking over the helms at Zenith, ROAR and Moxie, Sean spent time at Publicis & Hal Riney, Goodby Silverstein & Partners and AKQA.

Jonathan Clues / StudentBridge
Founder and Vice-Chairman

Jonathan Clues is the vision and entrepreneur behind StudentBridge. His original career as a professional racing driver netted over 20 race wins and two national championships. After hanging up his helmet, Jonathan turned his attention to the Internet and started several web companies in his hometown of London. Passionate about higher education and the future of young people, one of Jonathan’s first companies, Realview TV, developed an interactive video delivery model that successfully embedded streaming video in a multimedia platform aimed at helping educational institutions find, recruit and retain students. This ultimately became the core product offering of StudentBridge, which has successfully converted web traffic into students at top schools nationwide. Since opening the doors of StudentBridge in 2014 in Atlanta, Jonathan has increased his staff significantly and recently announced the acquisition of Campus Bubble, a socially driven platform which, along with video and virtual tours, gives students the tools to make the right decisions about college, avoid attrition and graduate from the college they choose at the beginning. His company’s new multimedia platform is slated to change the landscape of the higher education admission’s process and help aid the trillion-dollar student debt crisis.
