Jeri Knox as its first chief operating officer and managing partner. Knox, who joined KremeWorks in 2001 as a concept partner, will oversee operations in Washington, Oregon, Hawaii and Alaska. She has more than 24 years' experience in the restaurant industry, beginning her career at Nordstrom restaurants, cafes and espresso bars.
