MORE ON OUR GUEST
Rachael Mull
CEO, Victoria Restaurant Group\Manor Hill Farm
Corporate Background:
Rachael came into the restaurant business naturally as her mother’s family operated a Bavarian Beer Garden which initiated her exposure to the food & beverage industry. Instead of following the family history into the kitchen, Rachael took the business approach. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Loyola College in Baltimore with an undergraduate degree in Accounting and an MBA with a concentration in Finance. She went on to obtain her CPA and received the second-highest score on the exam.
Rachael was recruited by KPMG out of college and went on to be an audit manager for the Healthcare group in their Baltimore office. From there she became the Comptroller for Marriner Marketing Communications for several years and managed through the transition period when Randy Marriner, her father, sold the company to his partner. Looking for the next challenge, Rachael found herself at the corporate office of MedStar Health as the Director of Corporate Finance.
In 2009, Rachael came back into the family business to become the Chief Operating Officer of Victoria Restaurant Group. She was able to bring structure and best business practices to the company to position it for the current growth and success. Since then, she has taken the Chief Executive Role and oversees all operations for both Victoria Restaurant Group as well as Manor Hill Farm. Victoria Restaurant Group currently operates two concepts being Victoria Gastro Pub and Manor Hill Tavern. Manor Hill Brewing is Howard County’s first farm brewery and currently the largest in the state of Maryland. Manor Hill beer and non-alcoholic sparkling water is distributed all throughout Maryland and Washington DC. Guests can also visit the farm to try the beverages and the farm stand that sells other products grown on the farm.
Personal Background:
Rachael will be married 15 years this fall and lives in Fulton with her husband and 2 young children. Nathan is 10 years old and Sydney is 8. She feels very blessed to be able to work with her family and spend so much time with them, which also allows her to be with her children on a more regular basis. In any spare time, she is actively involved in supporting her church and children’s school.
