Rose Totino
January 27, 2008
I am very excited to have chosen Rose Totino as female inventor. Rose Totino is one of seven children born to Italian immigrants. Her name may sound familiar thanks to Totino’s pizza ~ she invented frozen pizza crust. I can’t wait to learn more about her life and background.
Rose Totino turned a small restaurant, called Totino’s Italian Kitchen in northeast Minneapolis into a million dollar business. Rose used her flexibility, thoughtfulness, and creativity to bring people frozen pizza crust I think it important because it brings about a convenience that I know and understand as a mother who doesnot walk in the door until 6 at night when her daughter is already demanding her dinner. Rose Totino was also Pillsbury’s first ever female vice preident. It will be interesting to hear Totino’s story of not only her invention but also about her way up the corporate ladder.
