Little Caesars has announced the appointment of Jeremy Vitaro as chief development officer. He will be responsible for new unit growth domestically and around the world, while driving the organization’s efforts to capitalize on the global opportunity of the Little Caesars brand.

“Little Caesars is experiencing one of its largest periods of domestic and international expansion in its 60-plus year history,” said David Scrivano, president and CEO of Little Caesars. “With a very attractive business model, strong brand awareness, and quality products, we are thrilled for Jeremy to join our team, continue our momentum and provide new growth opportunities for entrepreneurs all over the world.”

Vitaro’s most recent position was as vice president of U.S. development at Dunkin’ Brands, where he has held leadership roles for the past 18 years. Prior to this, he lived and worked in Italy, serving companies like Casoni S.P.A. and the Benedict Group in various franchise leadership roles.

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to join a world-renowned brand primed for continued expansion,” said Vitaro. “Little Caesars is poised to experience further exponential growth due to its affordable prices, quality products, and rewarding business model. I look forward to helping guide Little Caesars towards continued success and working with entrepreneurs interested in growth opportunities.”

Little Caesars operates in 27 countries and territories to date, and most recently entered Columbia, Singapore, Peru, and Chile. Later this year, new locations are planned to open in Portugal, Russia, and the U.K.

In addition to these key regions, Little Caesars is actively seeking growth throughout Europe, Southeast Asia, and South America, as well as in existing markets, such as Spain, Canada, Latin America, and the Philippines. Opportunities also exist in New York City, Seattle, Portland, Tampa, and other U.S. markets.
