JIM MIZES
Consultant/Strategic Advisor/Retired CEO

Jim Mizes has spent the last 30+ years working to scale and build new brands. After an initial career in finance, Jim moved to Operations in the late 80’s with Taco Bell. At Taco Bell, Jim pioneered the 59/79/99 cent menu of the early 90’s that changed the value equation for fast food. In the early 90’s, Jim shifted to working with founders. His first engagement was with Noah’s Bagels for 4 years as the chain grew from 10 to 50+ restaurants. He later moved to Jamba Juice and supported growth from 50 to 450 restaurants over 5 years. After helping to build a regional health club company with founders over 8 years, Jim joined Blaze Pizza as President and then CEO growing the brand from 2 restaurants to 340 from 2013 to 2019.  Since retiring in 2019, Jim has devoted his “returning phase” to helping entrepreneurs in the restaurant and restaurant technology space. Jim is a Board member for Rackson Restaurants and Sitezeus. Jim is a strategic advisor for Dave’s Hot Chicken, Ovation, Yoobic, Adentro, Kea ai, and Loop ai.
