Michelle K Morrison

calling her name. Michelle made the trek from Denver back to New York to attend The Culinary Institute of America. Although Michelle loved being in the kitchen, she also got a taste of restaurant management and completed her education at Cornell’s Hotel School, where she was able to utilize all of her talents and passions.

​

Upon graduation, Michelle had the choice of going into restaurant management or going into consulting with the top hospitality consulting group in the United States, Laventhol & Horwath. Needless to say, Michelle chose LA living and took the job as the Senior International Consultant for Laventhol & Horwath. During her tenure there, Michelle engaged in consulting with diverse industries in the U.S., Canada and France. While there, her major responsibilities involved working with a variety of clients including La Batt Brewing Company, Hilton Hotel Corporation, Le Bistro de la Gare in Paris, France (while conducting all her business in French!), and working with Marineland. She was also responsible for the annual publication of “California Restaurant Operations."

​

In 1980 Michelle made the bold move and started her own consulting firm called Kayem & Associates, focusing on helping business owners with operations, management and staff, recruiting, and training for both pre-opening businesses and existing businesses. The rest, they say, is history.

​

In 1988, Jerry and Michelle joined forces and opened Morrison & Company. The focus of their consulting business was diverse. They worked for law firms, accounting firms, nursing homes medical practices, and hospitality. They specialized in talent acquisition, creating processes and systems, saving businesses countless expense, and developing personalized talent acquisition systems. The firm became the go-to agency for international recruiting. They worked with high end resorts and recruited talent from Canada, the U.S., and 7 European countries, focusing on developing the customized systems and processes to fill entry-level management positions. They traveled the world, presenting to over 5,000 people. They screened over 4,000 people, interviewed over 2,500, and selected 150 individuals from 32 countries. Morrison & Company also was a heavy hitter in management consulting. They worked with restaurants, selected resorts, international hotel companies, and conducted professional development seminars including goal setting, improving customer/guest/patient/customer satisfaction, exit interviews and leadership, communication and strategic planning.
