Donatos CEO Kevin King Loves His Wife and Leads With Heart

Kevin King runs Donatos, loves his wife, believes in a good operating system. That combination says a lot about how he leads. Kevin talks with Keri about more than three decades of marriage, raising children who still want to call him, caring for his father, and learning when the people closest to him need a solution and when they just need him to show up. He also gets honest about leading one of Columbus’s most recognizable brands through delivery disruption, changing customer expectations, automation, and AI. His goal is not to remove people from the business. It is to remove the work people hate so they can spend more time taking care of customers. This conversation is about pizza, people, marriage, leadership, and why even the calmest CEO has to make sure his heart shows.
