Roger S. Berkowitz is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Legal Sea Foods, a Boston-based restaurant group that has 33 restaurants along the East Coast of the United States. He started working in his family's fish market in the Inman Square section of Cambridge, Massachusetts at the age of ten and learned every aspect of the business until becoming President and CEO in 1992. He now oversees restaurant, mail order and retail operations.
Since the 1990s, Berkowitz has narrated and appeared in many of his company's television commercials and other advertising. In his latest ad campaign, he runs as a faux candidate in the 2016 presidential election asking people to vote for him because he will immediately legalize sea weed upon being elected.
Berkowitz was raised a Jewish family in Waltham and Lexington along with two brothers, Marc and Richard, and worked at the family fish market along with his parents, George and Harriet. After graduating from high school, Berkowitz studied radio and television at Syracuse University and graduated from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. During his time at Syracuse, Berkowitz hosted his own radio news show that covered local and national topics.
After completing his undergraduate studies, Berkowitz returned to Cambridge with the intention of working for a couple of years in the family’s business. The family's focus had changed from a fish market with an attached fried fish take-out to a full service restaurant.
Berkowitz later attended Harvard Business School's Owner/President Management (OPM) program, London Business School's Senior Executive Programme and the Strategic Marketing Management Program at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
