Special Events Manager, PUBLIC restaurant

It’s well known within the hospitality industry that there is an art to managing food and wine events. But it takes an individual with passion and character to transform those events into something truly memorable. With the expertise of a chef preparing a luxuriously rich canapé, each event Kimberly arranges at PUBLIC is carefully crafted to suit her clients’ needs.

In a former life, Kimberly produced photo editorials for renowned fashion brands. That expertise seamlessly spilled over to her current role, as she always ensures her clients’ events are more than picture perfect. And that’s quite an accomplishment when your boss happens to be a world-class chef and your restaurant is the award-winning PUBLIC located in NoLita, NYC.

Kimberly Johnson is one of a handful of Lincoln Individuals featured in the Lincoln Motor Company’s current print campaign for the 2013 MKZ.
