| Tom Potter |
Founder, Eagle Boys Pizza
With no job and little education, Tom Potter borrowed the money to launch his Eagle Boys Pizza brand and it was a risk that paid off. He now operates 145 stores nationally and sold the brand in New Zealand after building the business to 40 stores. Eagle Boys remains one of a few wholly Australian owned and originated fast food companies whose expertise is exported globally. In 1994 Tom accepted a scholarship to attend Harvard Business School and graduated Valedictorian. Today, Eagle Boys is expanding into Asia and the company’s $100M plus turnover looks set to rise with the dough. |
