Hungry Howie's announced that Jimmy Simonte has joined the company as executive vice president of marketing. In his new role, Simonte will lead the brand's marketing strategy and work closely with franchisees to support overall growth.
"Hungry Howie's is a beloved Michigan-born brand with a loyal fan base and a clear point of differentiation in Flavoured Crust, and unlike a lot of pizza brands, you never have to sacrifice flavour to choose us. Joining at this pivotal moment, I'm focused on partnering closely with our franchisees, strengthening our digital and data capabilities, and bringing what makes Hungry Howie's special to more customers in more markets," said Simonte.
Prior to his current role, Simonte spent more than 25 years at Domino's, where he led multiple teams spanning product innovation, media, and national marketing initiatives across a franchise network of more than 200 domestic DMAs.
Steve Jackson, CEO of Hungry Howie's, said, "Jimmy brings a powerful combination of category expertise, franchisee-first thinking and a deep understanding of how technology and marketing can work together to drive growth. As we continue building on Hungry Howie's legacy and expanding our reach, his leadership will be instrumental in helping us connect with more customers, support our franchisees and reinforce what has always made this brand special – flavour."
"For a long time, powerful technology was an expensive barrier to entry for smaller and midsized brands. That's changed, Hungry Howie's has access to the same calibre of tools as the biggest names in the category, and we intend to use them," said Simonte.
