Mountain Mike’s Pizza LLC, Newport Beach

Carol DeNembo is vice president of marketing for Mountain Mike's Pizza, a leading family-style pizza chain known for its legendary crispy, curly pepperoni and Mountain-sized pizzas.

Today, she leads systemwide marketing initiatives, providing strategic vision and direction as Mountain Mike's continues to expand. DeNembo has made huge strides to fuel and sustain the growth by modernizing the 40+ year legacy brand and its nearly 250 units - now developing throughout eight Western states. Most recently, she spearheaded a variety of innovative digital initiatives, including a new mobile app and loyalty program. She also oversees an authentic partnership for a brand embraced by sports fans of all ages, as Mountain Mike's is the Official Pizza of the San Francisco 49ers.
