CEO Insights Guest: Thomas Krouse, CEO

Join us for a conversation with Tom Krouse at our November CEO Insights program.

With a commitment to innovation, growth, and the brand’s core values, Tom has etched an extraordinary journey as a leader at Donatos Pizza. Krouse was named the fourth CEO in the company’s history in October 2010, after spending ten years in various marketing and growth leadership roles. He has led the brand to new heights through both traditional franchise growth and strategic partnerships that have expanded the Donatos footprint to over 460 locations in 29 states. Krouse’s forward-thinking approach and passion for bringing premium pizza to more communities has been instrumental in the success of a partnership with Red Robin, a pivotal achievement that established a coast-to-coast presence for Donatos. Since the beginning of this year, Donatos Pizza has opened over 30 traditional and strategic partnership locations and entered an exclusive partnership with Appetronix to launch a fully autonomous pizza vending machine.

Tom is a graduate of The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He and his wife, Jane, reside in Bexley. Tom has 3 sons and Jane has 1 son, 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren.
