Natalie Trabbold began her career in the restaurant industry as a server, working her way into bartending, management, and eventually business ownership. Along the way, she developed experience across nearly every side of the industry, from operations and finance to marketing, design, and the guest experience.
Today, Natalie oversees the day-to-day operations of Evolved Hospitality Group and its companies, including financials, payroll, administration, systems and SOPs, bar operations, branding, and overall operational standards. While much of her work happens behind the scenes, she remains equally comfortable jumping onto the floor, behind the bar, or wherever the team needs her.
Natalie has also played an integral role in developing the company’s beverage programs and has received multiple Baltimore magazine Best Bartender nominations for her work behind the bar.
Her path from server to owner is an important reminder of the opportunity that exists within hospitality. Take pride in the role you have today, learn every part of the business you can, and never stop looking for opportunities to grow.
