About

Tim Murphy is a proven CEO and strategic advisor with 30+ years of leadership across family entertainment, restaurants, F&B, and retail. He has driven turnarounds and growth across 150+ brands and 10,000+ locations, partnering with private equity leaders such as Cerberus Capital Management and The Carlyle Group to unlock enterprise value and deliver high-return exits.

As CEO of Boomers Parks, Tim led one of the industry's most notable turnarounds—transforming a $10M EBITDA loss into $8M+ profit in one year, resulting in a 6X EBITDA exit in 2024. He currently serves as Board Director for Coney Park & Happy City (100+ Latin American FECs backed by The Carlyle Group) and leads TM Entertainment Consulting, where he advises investors and operators on M&A, franchise scaling, and performance improvement.

Tim is also the founder of Murfeez Entertainment, a scalable indoor location-based entertainment (LBE) brand designed for national growth. Earlier in his career, he held senior roles at Disney, Darden, and Advantica (Denny’s/Hardee’s), and helped drive a 750% revenue increase at Applebee’s during his time with Specialty Restaurant Development.
