➡️ About The Guest⁣

Thomas Vozzo is the Chief Executive Officer of Homeboy Industries, the largest and most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the country. He joined Homeboy Industries in 2018 after retiring from a successful corporate career at ARAMARK Corporation, where he was an Executive Vice President overseeing almost 20,000 employees. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware and a master’s degree from The Johns Hopkins University.

At Homeboy Industries, Vozzo leads a team of dedicated staff and volunteers who provide hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women, allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of society. Vozzo is responsible for finding employment opportunities for the 200 people that Homeboy serves at a time, as well as ensuring the financial sustainability and strategic growth of the organization.
