Cameron Khorassani
DISTRICT MANAGER
The structure in place for growth and development has allowed me to advance from an hourly team member to management and now to a District Manager position. I’ve been fortunate to gain valuable experience running two of the busiest suburban locations which has made me into a resilient leader and operator. It’s been rewarding to cultivate talent within my growing market and I am excited to see how our company continues to evolve.
Jose Hernandez
REGIONAL VP, OPERATIONS
Working for CHOPT has taught me many things. One of the most important things is patience. I started my journey as an hourly employee back in 2002. Growing through the ranks and being part of the leadership team here has allowed me to positively impact many people's lives, both directly and indirectly. I have been part of molding and developing our NYC managers, and most have been promoted from within. I take tremendous pride in helping to cultivate talent and develop our next generation of leaders.
Brittany Kandida
GENERAL MANAGER
Working for Chopt has made a big difference in my career. I am always being pushed to evolve and learn and it is clear that the company really does care about helping people grow. When I started out as an hourly Chopr, I had many role models to learn from with a lot of support from people who pushed me out of my comfort zone. Now in the GM position, I take great pride in developing young talent and mentoring our future leaders.

TRAINING GENERAL MANAGER
I developed a deep understanding of Chopt's core values and culture through the MIT Program, which has been instrumental in my professional growth. I have since advanced to the role of Training General Manager, where I have the privilege of coaching and developing individuals who embody these principles. Chopt’s commitment to providing growth opportunities has allowed me to support New Restaurant Openings. In this role, I have the opportunity to build new teams and instill the Chopt way in our future leaders. The most rewarding aspect of my career has been helping others develop and witnessing their continued growth.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE MANAGER
For me working at Chopt has been an extraordinary experience. I have made many incredible memories and have met some very nice people throughout my years. I started off as a Chopr and then was given the opportunity to work with the Finance team as a data entry personnel and assistant but I have continued to learn more each day. Since joining Chopt my career has always taken a step forward and it makes me more accomplished.
