“My mom always said: ‘Just figure it out and make it

happen.’ Success is mostly driven by how badly you want

something.” Kat Cole

Cole is on the leadership team at the parent company, FOCUS Brands Inc, which has more

than 4,000 ice cream shops, bakeries and restaurants in the U.S. and 56 countries. Cole

became president of Cinnabon at age 32. Prior to her current role, Cole was VP of training

and development for Hooters, where she worked her way up from a hostess at age 17

and began traveling globally to open new Hooters franchises. She dropped out of college

at age 19 to move into management roles, becoming a VP at age 26 – making her one of

the youngest execs in the hospitality industry. She later completed her MBA at Georgia State

University.
