SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Doich, the functional snacking dough brand, has appointed David Kurd as Chief Operating Officer, marking a key step in the company's continued expansion.

His appointment comes as Doich accelerates its retail expansion, including recent launches in Minnesota's Lunds & Byerlys and Chicagoland's Jewel-Osco at the end of May, strengthening its presence in Midwest markets. Known for its allergen-friendly, gluten-free and low-sugar dough, Doich continues to stand out in the better-for-you snacking category delivering a delicious snack that can be eaten raw or baked.

"We've taken a very hands-on and intentional approach to building Doich, and David immediately connected with that," said Anthony Scialdone, Doich CEO and co-founder. "His leadership will be instrumental as we continue our momentum during this next phase of growth."

As COO, Kurd will lead day-to-day operations and support the company's growing retail and distribution presence nationwide.

Kurd's appointment comes following an investment from Gabe Plotkin, owner and co-chairman of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, to accelerate the company's growth. Kurd and Plotkin have a long-standing professional relationship rooted in their time together in the investment management sector.

Kurd brings nearly three decades of experience across operations, investing and consumer markets.
