Tim Gannon

Tim Gannon started his career at the Four Seasons Hotel, Steak & Ale and Al Copeland's Cajun Cafe in New Orleans. From 1984 to 1987, he served as Vice President and Director of Development of Al Copeland Enterprises. In 1988, he co-founded Outback Steakhouse, where he brought his background in hospitality and passion for bold flavours to the brand. His contributions helped shape signature dishes like the Bloomin’ Onion, which remains a fan favorite, and were key in establishing Outback as a leading name in casual dining when the first location opened. In 2006, he created OSI Restaurant Partners, which operates Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Roy's Restaurant and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. He sits on the Advisory Board of Thayer Ventures.
