PizzaForno has appointed Jason Lowder as its chief marketing officer. Lowder, the former vice president of local store marketing at Marco's Pizza, brings years of sales, marketing and development experience to the automated pizza brand, according to a press release.

"Jason joins our team with a proven track record of success when it comes to developing and growing pizza concepts," Les Tomlin, co-founder and president of PizzaForno, said in the press release. "As we continue to break into major U.S. markets, we know that Jason's background in grand openings, franchising and multi-unit ownership will turn our easy-to-scale business model into the next fastest growing pizza brand."

"It's good to be in the pizza business as people will always enjoy the shareable food. In fact, I had first inquired about the licensee opportunity for myself with PizzaForno. Upon hearing more about the influx of leads and the accelerated U.S. expansion plans, the opportunity to be a part of it at the leadership level was a cultural fit," Lowder said in the release. "I immediately felt the passion the existing corporate team and licensees have for what they do and when an organization loves what they do, the results will come."

PizzaForno current has 40 operating locations and another 100 locations committed.
