About Deena DePhilips

Deena DePhilips is Chief Technology Officer at Red Robin. Location: Denver, Colorado, United States.

Technology executive with 20+ years in hospitality, leading enterprise technology across a 500+ restaurant footprint. I build modern platforms that make the guest experience easier, restaurant operations smoother, and the business more resilient. My work sits at the intersection of digital product, data & analytics, and infrastructure modernization with a practical focus on measurable outcomes: reliability, speed, security, and adoption at scale. I’ve led transformations spanning restaurant tech, MarTech and loyalty, eCommerce enablement, enterprise architecture, DevOps/cloud, and portfolio delivery. I’m especially focused on AI/GenAI enablement using automation and intelligence to simplify work, accelerate decision-making, and improve how teams operate (without adding chaos). Leadership style: clear priorities, high trust, high accountability, and teams that ship. Culture is crucial.
