Victoria “Rori” Hope Nwaeze is an entrepreneurial operator and strategic growth leader with multi-industry experience spanning restaurants, real estate acquisitions, and emerging consumer markets. With a foundation in economics and a strong track record in operational turnarounds, she specializes in scaling high-potential businesses through refined systems, elevated hospitality, and deliberate culture-building.
Rori currently leads operations and growth for Chef Point — the nationally recognized, family-owned restaurant founded inside a North Texas gas station and featured by CNN, Food Network, NPR, and CNBC. She drives revenue through product innovation, brand expansion, and operational efficiency, while developing leaders and strong communication frameworks throughout the organization. Her focus blends top-line marketing momentum with bottom-line accountability, including revamped catering strategy, acquisition-driven expansion, and hospitality-driven guest engagement.
Prior to hospitality leadership, she worked in acquisitions and asset management in the real estate sector, creating investor materials, evaluating opportunities, and supporting deal execution. In the cannabis industry, she operated in a fast-changing regulatory landscape for both a major California delivery network and a top-tier brand — building experience in business development, legal agreements, and startup-pace adaptability.
A builder at heart, Rori thrives where structure meets creativity — in environments that require decisive leadership, operational discipline, and storytelling that connects product to community. She is passionate about growing great workplaces where people are seen, supported, and successful.
Rori’s long-term vision is a portfolio of hospitality and service-based businesses that elevate everyday life through great design, unforgettable experiences, and human-centered leadership. With a global point of view and a deep belief in ownership, she is actively pursuing expansion markets in Texas, California, and beyond.
