Chris O’Brien founded Elevoro Advisors to help F&B brands scale without losing their soul. After leading 1,700+ Starbucks stores across Asia Pacific, she saw a gap: emerging businesses needed hands‑on guidance that blends operational rigour with human-centred design. Elevoro was born from that passion—to turn ambition into sustainable growth.

What people say about us
TESTIMONIALS
“I had the pleasure of working with Chris when she was the Senior Manager of Starbucks Asia Pacific, providing consultancy to the franchisee markets. Hong Kong was one of the markets she served when I was heading up Hong Kong. Chris has consistently exhibited a deep understanding of the complexities of managing a diverse and dynamic region like the Asia Pacific. Her ability to navigate cultural nuances, market-specific challenges, and operational intricacies has been instrumental in contributing to the recovery of the HK business in the post COVID era. One of Chris’s standout qualities is her ability to build strong, collaborative relationships with franchisees and stakeholders. She has a unique talent for fostering trust and alignment, ensuring that franchisees feel supported and empowered to deliver the Starbucks experience to their communities. I would recommend Chris to any company seeking a talented leader and consultant.”

“Drive performance and get quick results while building and maintaining strong relationships…that’s something that few leaders do well. Chris does that brilliantly! I have seen her turn company stores around, from near closure… to high volume successful stores. And, when she moved to a more consultative role in the Licensed Business, she quickly became a trusted advisor and built a strong partnership with all her ‘clients’. Acting with urgency, deep knowledge of the Retail Business and an intuitive understanding of what makes people tick….that’s Chris! I recommend her strongly. If the opportunity presented itself, I’d bring her on to my team in a heartbeat.”
