Arjun Sen is a Brand Zen® with 30+ years of global corporate leadership experience and a relentless drive to help franchise organizations win big. His unique ability to pause, reflect, and see beyond the obvious has made him a trusted advisor to brands worldwide. Blaine Hurst, former President and CEO of Panera Bread, calls him “One of the most ‘Business-Intelligent’ minds in the business today.”
Arjun’s corporate journey includes senior leadership roles at Jillian’s, Boston Market, and Pizza Hut. He was a founding member of Einstein Bros. Bagels, and as VP of Marketing and Operations at Papa John’s International, he helped drive four years of record growth while pioneering the brand’s groundbreaking online ordering system, now generating over $1 billion in annual revenue.
As CEO of ZenMango, Arjun has worked with restaurant, service, retail, technology, education, nonprofit, and sports brands, helping them find their one-of-one advantage. He believes that before customers see a brand as one-of-one, the brand itself must think, act, and believe it is one-of-one. His process starts with a pause—understanding the deepest needs of customers—then builds leadership mindsets, breakthrough marketing strategies, and powerful brand storytelling to drive exponential growth.
Arjun’s philosophy is simple: “We are all in the Feeling Business®.” He helps brands answer the most crucial question in their customers’ minds:
“What is the one reason we are one-of-one, and why do you need only us?”
