Baylor alum named president of La Madeleine

Baylor graduate John Dillon (BBA ’93) has earned national attention as an innovator in the restaurant industry, and when La Madeleine was looking for a leader to drive growth and expansion, they called on the Baylor grad (who spent the last year serving Hankamer School of Business students in a meaningful way — more on that in a minute).

La Madeleine, a Dallas-based French café and bakery with 80+ locations nationwide (including one just down I-35 from Baylor’s campus), named Dillon president in January. The Baylor grad, who most recently served as founder and principal lead at HMS Growth Partners, previously spent over 16 years with Denny’s, first in marketing and then as the chain’s president. At Denny’s, he built a reputation for innovation, shaping the brand’s voice and elevating the diner chain’s perception through humorous social media posts and a re-brand as “America’s Diner.”
