Chief Financial Officer and Founding Partner

A native of Arlington, VA, Katie O’Shea graduated from the University of Vermont in 1998 with a BS in Business Administration and started her career as a research associate covering media, entertainment and hospitality stocks at an institutional investment firm in Boston, MA.

After seven years in the financial industry, Katie changed course to pursue her love of mathematics and education. She taught high school mathematics for four years in Worcester, MA while earning an MLA in Mathematics for Secondary Education at Harvard University. In 2010, Katie and her partner and collaborator, Juan Padró relocated to Denver to follow their shared passion for food, drink and great meals with friends by diving headfirst into the restaurant industry. With the opening of Tap & Burger, a new journey unfolded and many restaurants later, she continues to bring her passion and expertise to each new project.
