Jamaican local quick service food chain restaurant Island Grill has announced the appointment of its new chief operating officer Sherine Price, who took up office on June 1, 2023. 

She has been tasked with growing Island Grill’s physical base whilst upgrading its product offerings, which is being done in alignment with the company’s strategic growth objectives.

In light of her invaluable contribution to the growth of the company, from 2016, and throughout the pandemic, the management says, “it is not surprising that her unparalleled leadership, strategic mind set, and dedication have consistently resulted in positive results for the company. Her business acumen and tremendous people skills, her exceptional experience in employee engagement, training and development, and her success in reaching Island Grill’s goals during her tenure, earned her this promotion.”

I started out as a district manager in 2016, and I am so thrilled to be where I am today. I’m looking forward to contributing to the company’s growth objectives and strategic goals. Island Grill is an iconic Jamaican brand and I’m eager to continue building on all the company has been able to achieve over the years.”
