Jayant joins Slice from Amazon, where he most recently spent four years as Director of Worldwide Corporate Development.

“We are excited to have Jayant join Slice. His broad financial and strategic experience, particularly his understanding of how technology is reshaping all categories, will be an incredible asset to our company,” said Ilir Sela, founder and CEO of Slice. “The business is at an exciting inflection point and I’m confident Jayant will play an integral role as we enter this next stage of growth and scale to over $1 billion in annual pizza sales on Slice.”
Jayant commented “Ilir has established a strong vision of empowering independent pizzerias and I look forward to partnering with the Slice team to further deliver on its mission and take Slice to the next level.”
