Scott Sulma
Founder, CEO

Twenty years of concept development and restaurant operations experience has lent Scott Sulma a unique perspective into the hospitality industry. Scott’s multi-unit operations experience presented him with the opportunity to open multiple restaurants with world-renowned groups. In the last two decades, he has been named in Houston Business Journals 40 under 40 and been nominated for a James Beard award. With reverence to the developer, owner, and chef, Scott understands that the client’s vision and ideas come first. Scott founded May I Speak Hospitality to bridge the gap between developer and operator and to help fellow professionals open concepts that are cohesive, compelling, and undeniably efficient.
