About us

Vincent Liuzza, Jr. is the principal of Liuzza Management Consulting, Inc., an accomplished turnaround specialist. He has over 18 years of experience helping companies make meaningful operational and financial changes, in addition to over 30 years as a leader in the commodities and food service industries. Liuzza has extensive experience in franchisor-franchisee relationships, real estate, and commodity hedging and trading. He is a skilled negotiator known for bringing pragmatic solutions to complex situations.

 

In addition to his turnaround accomplishments listed elsewhere on this website, other relevant accomplishments include:

Was a member of the Chicago Board of Trade, hedged for companies that processed over 35% of the nation's poultry, and was actively involved in the CBT Broiler Contract Governing Committee. When market realities dictated, he initiated and negotiated a broiler contract transfer with the Board's rival, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. This was the only successful contract transfer of its kind in the history of commodity exchanges in the US. In addition, Liuzza authored the Board of Trade's Official Broiler Contract Trading Manual for publication.

Served as Chairman of MetroVision, a partnership of businesses and governments of nine parishes in the metro New Orleans area, and was the primary driver of economic development in the region.

As a member of the Louisiana State Workforce Development Commission, Liuzza mediated differences between the state's Department of Labor and the Department of Welfare for them to jointly file Louisiana's application for President Bill Clinton's Welfare to Work grants. Louisiana was the first state to file and receive its grant of $25,000,000.

As a franchisee of Sizzler Family Steakhouses, Liuzza founded the National Sizzler Franchisee Association and was its President for eight years. He managed the relationship in such an exemplary manner that the franchisor utilized the Association as its major relationship and communication tool with its franchisees.

He was President of the Louisiana Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association four years and was a member of the TMA Global Board of Trustees. He has been a guest lecturer on franchising, marketing strategies, and entrepreneurship at Louisiana State, Tulane, and Loyola universities. Liuzza holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of New Orleans.

Why Choose Liuzza

Liuzza’s turnaround management experience began when the Liuzza family-owned franchisee of Sizzler Family Steakhouses began to experience severe operational and financial difficulties. Liuzza felt the need to leave his successful stock and commodity broker position to be interim CEO of the declining business and, somehow, find a way to salvage it. In effecting that turnaround, he was able to create a new Mexican restaurant concept called Cuco’s Border Cafe, which was turned into a successful national Initial Public Offering and was the first IPO of any Louisiana company in ten years.

When he later entered the consulting business, that turnaround experience enabled him to empathize with the difficult challenges owners, managers, and partners faced in implementing challenging changes. Creating a plan and roadmap for a new strategy requires one set of consulting talents. Implementing the new strategy requires a totally different set of talents, systems, and leadership, which might not have existed before.

Because of his past experience, Liuzza doesn’t just give recommendations and leave you to execute without continued guidance and help. If requested, he will continue to work along with or within your company to ensure the recommendations and mid-course corrections are implemented to produce the desired result. (See Piccadilly Food Cost Success, Kenner Casino Truckstop, HHH, and Deep River Logistics in Case Studies).

Most companies that need guidance or outside objective professional help almost always delay too long to consider bringing in a turnaround consultant. The longer the delay, the fewer options remain available. To encourage potential clients to overcome this tendency, Liuzza waives the fees for the first in-depth introductory meeting or meetings. Fees don’t commence until an engagement letter is signed and approved work begins thereafter.

Finding New Solutions and Alternatives for Your Company

Liuzza is experienced in assisting and encouraging “outside-the-box” thinking by individuals and leadership groups within the company. Among the benefits an appropriate outsider brings to your company is fresh objectivity uninhibited by ownership ties to past decisions and freedom from historical relationships with any challenging existing personnel. This often reduces some impediments of the past and opens new avenues of communication and agreement.

Liuzza Tools You Can Use—Soon!

Problem-solving and identification of potential solutions:

Among the tools that Liuzza delivers, where appropriate, early in his dealings with new clients, is Mind Mapping, learned from its inventor and client, Tony Buzan. It enables both individuals and groups to more promptly identify and create results such as situation analyses, problem identification, potentially creative solutions, and much more. See Tony Buzan on creativity and MindMapping in Case Studies.

Enhancing communication and cooperation among key management team members:

To maximize results and minimize problems and stresses among management team members, an outsourced personality assessment, DiSC Profiles, is often immediately recommended and always well-accepted. The resulting knowledge enhances understanding of each other’s personalities and improves communication and relationships.
