VP of Strategic Growth | The Big Biscuit

Hi, my name is Marita Swift. I am the Vice President of Strategic Growth at The Big Biscuit. The one word I use to describe myself is ‘resourceful.’

I have worked in scratch kitchens for over 20 years, developing and innovating brands in the full-service fine dining sector. I have been with The Big Biscuit for just over three years and have changed titles three times. I love brand marketing and view culinary concepts from a holistic lens, bringing branding and operations together for a seamless strategy. I am a lifelong foodie, a mother of 3 children, and I am passionate about travel, work-life balance, and advocating for and supporting women in the food and beverage space.
