Who leads the amazing team at Patti's 1880's Settlement? When we answer, a woman, and then disclose there are 2 of them, eyebrows raise for sure! How does it work and is it working out? On this episode of Peddlin Pork with Patti's - Take 5, Beverly talks candidly with Ann Martin and Terri Vaughn, coCEOs, asking 5 impromptu questions on how they became the coCEOs of one of the number one Restaurant Destinations in Kentucky.
How many female CEOs are there in the bustiness world today?
A year-long research found that the percentage of women filling senior management positions has grown to 29% in 2019, the highest to be recorded thus far (Grant Thornton, 2020). There has also been a noticeable increase in female CEOs over the last decade. According to an analysis by Challenger, Gray & Christmas (2019), the apparel industry hired the most female CEO replacements (67%), followed by real estate (42%), financial services (24.5%), and the food industry (23%).
While there are still more male executives than females, the corporate world seems to move gradually toward a direction that puts more women behind the chief executive officer (CEO) desk.

Early morning, February 5th, 2018 I had the unbelievable phone call that Patti's was on fire. My first thought was of course the safety of our staff and guests. Then secondly, where do we go from here. We were blessed that the few staff that were in the building (it was early morning, prior to opening) safely left the kitchen with no injuries. Our charming unique old restaurant was not as fortunate. Once the building was deemed safe to enter, the damage found was beyond repair and the start of the long rebuild would begin. But were do you begin if you have no historical operating or payroll information to start?
In this episode we discuss how the Smartpath Superheros were able to retrieve critical backups allowing us to merge the "Old Settlement computers" with the "Brand new Restaurant computers" A unbelievable task, with all the fun of working along side cats and critters that lived on the 6 acre tract that is the home of one of the most visited tourist attractions in the State of Kentucky, Patti's 1880's Settlement.
