Our Team
Shawn Murray
Shawn Murray has worked in the hospitality, operations, and the recruiting industry for more than three decades and specializes in local and national talent acquisition. With a background that includes owning, building and operating some of the busiest restaurants in the Twin Cities, Mr. Murray brings a rare combination of hands-on operational expertise and talent acquisition insight to his work with clients ranging from independent operators to multi-million-dollar national corporate hospitality groups.
Born in Okinawa, Japan and raised across multiple states as part of a military family, Mr. Murray learned early how to adapt quickly and build meaningful connections—skills that would later shape his approach to hospitality leadership. After years of partnering with EHS Hospitality from the operation side, he joined the firm in early 2024 to expand his impact by elevating talent and strengthening hospitality teams throughout the region.
