Jennifer Resick
Jennifer Resick's official title of Chief Marketing Officer does a disservice to the many hats she wears in service of Taco Bamba. Resick is team member number two, the first person Albisu brought on board when the restaurant didn't yet have a name and fast-casual wasn't even a restaurant category. Resick's first job for Taco Bamba wasn't making a marketing plan but figuring out how to translate Albisu's idea into a pre-opening dive bar pop-up. It was an auspicious start, as openings have become a specialty. Resick has an eye for locations, branding, communications, and marketing that has been critical to the restaurant's ability to scale rapidly in structure and leadership while at the restaurant level maintaining its irreverence and soul.
