Meet the Team

Keo Velasquez
Chief Executive Officer
keo@lagatia.com

Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, Ke’o Velasquez never attended public school. Ke’o was home schooled and graduated high school a year early with a G.E.D. in 1998. While attending Hawaii Community College, Ke’o got bit with the cooking bug which launched his career into the hospitality industry. He graduated from HCC with an Associate in Applied Science & Certificate of Achievement, both with honors, as well as a Certificate for Outstanding Achievement. Since then, his cooking career has taken him across the globe from cooking competitions on the Food Network to consulting in Australia, not to mention hundreds of mentoring hours that have included a stay on the USS Salvor (ARS-52).

During the countless hours spent as line cook, chef, volunteer and consultant, Ke’o found a consistent problem that ran through almost all establishments: controlling cost. He decided that given the technology currently available, there must be a better way to solve the fundamental problems that plague the restaurant industry. Ke’o spent the next two years developing Lagatia’s software to simplify the process of monitoring costs and ease financial problems. He plans to revolutionize the hospitality industry by making cost control virtually effortless.

Hugh Robinson
President

Before helping found the Lagatia Corporation, Hugh C. Robinson was the President of Black Label Transportation, a private livery service in Dallas Texas. Originally from Columbus Ohio, Hugh ended up in Texas after going to boarding school in the northeastern United States. Tired of the cold weather and looking for a change of scenery, Hugh attended Southern Methodist University and graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science with heavy concentrations in international political economy and international relations. Hugh became involved with Lagatia by meeting Ke’o at a Russian vodka bar in Dallas, Texas. Upon learning what the software could potentially do for a client, Hugh decided to help Ke’o and Liz form Lagatia and take the product to market.
