Led by the president of MRG, Raymond Croubalian, this division brings daily financial accountability to the group and enforces a strong corporate culture without sacrificing MRG’s operating flare.

Mr. Croubalian and MRG’s controller conduct meetings with MRG’s VP of Operations, Imad Nabwani, on a weekly basis to review the operating results of each restaurant. With respect to new business development Mr. Croubalian sources, evaluates and qualifies all business opportunities with the input of all senior team members ensuring project feasibility, as well as ensuring that the proposed business model is consistent with corporate objectives and supports MRG core disciplines. He negotiates and manages all leases, management agreements, license agreements, joint ventures, and other contractual commitments made by MRG with his team of industry professionals.
