Tom

Tom Gatz is Executive Chair and co-founder of Growth Kitchen, which lets kitchen operators cook and sell established restaurant brands on delivery apps, turning spare capacity into revenue. He runs the commercial and financial side of the business. Before Growth Kitchen he was a consultant at Kearney, advising consumer and private equity clients on growth and operations, and worked as a business analyst inside Intertek's CEO office restructuring underperforming sites — unglamorous but useful experience for a business whose economics depend on making other people's underused assets work harder. He has been building businesses since he was a teenager, when he ran an apparel business around sustainable takeaway packaging.
