Jessica Stull

General Manager

Jessica Stull, general manager of Cento, has more than 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry and has been with Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR) since 2015.

Before working at CMR, Stull studied Hospitality Management at The Ohio State University. She began her career in hospitality working as a server and bartender at Colonial Golfer’s Club. She also was a server, bartender and intern at Roosters for a time. Stull joined CMR when she started as a server at Hudson 29 Upper Arlington and later moved her way up to dining room manager. From there, she continued her career at The Pearl Short North where she was promoted to general manager, then later moved on to El Segundo.

Stull is incredibly passionate about delivering genuine hospitality to guests, whether it be in the restaurant or in her home with friends and family. Because she has always loved cooking and dining out, being a part of the restaurant industry comes naturally to her.

Her favorite thing about working for CMR is the people. Stull grew up in a small town in Ohio with a strong sense of community and family and has found a similar sense of community with CMR. She’s grateful for an amazing team and is focused on guiding them through encouragement, inspiration and engagement.

“I have learned that communication is key and you need to give the best of yourself to your Associates,” says Stull. “Always be open and honest and learn something new every day to grow with your team.”

Stull resides in Italian Village. When she’s not working, she enjoys cooking, spending time with her nephews, trying new restaurants and traveling. Her favorite CMR dishes are the Shanghai Seabass from Hudson 29 and the Tenderloin from Martini Modern Italian.

Jonathan Deutschle

Executive Chef

Chef Jon began his career in the restaurant industry over 20 years ago and immediately fell in love with the creativity, the energy, and the controlled chaos. Although he started in the front of house, it very quickly dawned on him that he was on the wrong side of the line. At that point it went from being a job that he really enjoyed, to something that he saw himself doing for the rest of his life. Deutschle’s 16-year career with CMR began in 2007 as a pantry cook at Marcella’s Short North. From there his obsession with Italian cooking and becoming a chef only intensified. He rose through the ranks at Marcella’s, being promoted to Executive Chef in 2010. In 2017, Chef Jon became Executive Chef at The Pearl Short North. In 2023, Chef Jon was chosen to be Executive Chef at Cento, CMR’s new Italian concept in German Village. He is thrilled to be bringing his passion and creativity to Cento.

In his free time, Chef Jon is an avid cyclist and raving fan of The Ohio State University Buckeye Football team. He loves reading cookbooks, researching cuisines and techniques, and teaching his family how to cook.

For Jenn Hanscel, Executive Chef of Cento, cooking has always been a part of her life. Growing up in Marysville, Ohio, cooking Thanksgiving dinner in her grandma’s kitchen, Hanscel’s mom and aunt taught her that you can make anyone happy with something as simple as homemade cookies or an extravagant meal.

A current resident of Dublin, Ohio, Hanscel jumpstarted her career in culinary arts in 1999 at a local family pizzeria. Thirteen years later, in 2012, she joined Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR). Starting at the former M at Miranova, she later found herself working at both of The Avenue Steak Tavern locations, multiple Cap City locations, and most recently Valentina’s.

When asked about the best part of working for CMR, Hanscel stated, “The people! I’ve created so many lifelong friends and memories from all the people that I have met along the way.”
