Ken Wayland

Additional Strengths: My expertise includes Business Development,  Strategic Direction, Community Connections, and Talent Identification and Assembly. Using my extensive network in the Greater Richmond region, Hampton Roads and beyond, I love building teams and drafting talent customized to my clients’ needs and goals.

My First Job Was
I worked at Chubby Lane’s in Westport Ct. Chubby’s was a locally owned, high end hamburger restaurant and during my first week of employment I served Paul Newman & Robert Redford, who always ate in the kitchen so as not to be disturbed by the other patrons.

Best Advice I’ve Received
Stick to the FAB 5 – Family, Faith, Fitness, Friends & Fun (notice the 6th F is not listed; Finance)

Valuable Lessons I’ve Learned
A very successful restaurateur once told me that if you pay attention to the kitchen and you pay attention to the customers, you will never have to pay attention to the register.

With over 20 years of marketing experience in health care, retail, financial services, hospitality/development, and the automotive industries, I love measurable results, connecting talented professionals, building the right teams to meet my clients’ desired outcomes, and having fun along the way. We connect businesses with the right resources and manage those resources, as well as manage staffing challenges by assembling teams of talented Free Agents to meet their needs. By placing the right players in the right positions, we help our clients build championship teams.
