Around the globe, we’re thrilled to welcome new team members to our Subway family. Meet some of our new Subway Canada team members – Curtis Korchinski, Field Performance Director, and Romy van der Merwe, Senior Leasing Representative. “Since starting as a dishwasher at a local restaurant in high school, the foodservice & hospitality industry has been my home for over 20 years. After a career switch to Commercial Real Estate, I missed my roots and decided to re-enter the industry with the brand I love. It’s been incredible learning more about Subway and getting to know the amazing team who pour their hearts into the betterment and innovation of this brand. As a proud husband and father of two amazing sons, I’m grateful for the genuine support and acceptance that Subway has demonstrated to my family and me,” shares Curtis. “I joined Subway in August to be a part of something bigger and bolder, and so far, it’s been amazing! The team is hands-on and united in working towards a bigger, better vision and goal. Helping franchisees start or grow their dream has been the highlight. With two very active young boys, I love Subway’s family-centric ethos that allows me to pursue my passion, while having a meaningful work-life balance,” adds Romy. ? Curtis and Romy, we’re excited to have you! Join Curtis, Romy and the rest of the Subway team: https://lnkd.in/eEVbkfDB #Subway #Hiring
