Deepak Thadhani,
President, CEO

Deepak Thadhani is the founder and president of Cram Crew. Deepak completed his undergraduate degrees in mathematics and biology, with a minor in chemistry at the University of Houston. He did follow-up work at Ben Taub Hospital and while there, completed the MCAT. He decided that medicine was not his real passion and returned to the University of Houston to pursue his master's. He received his MBA in marketing along with a certificate of entrepreneurship at the Center for Entrepreneurship in the Bauer School of Business. This broad educational background turned out to be the perfect combination for an education-based business.

With his extensive educational experience, Deepak possesses a unique combination of educational exposure, teaching acumen, and a genuine interest in the achievement of every student. Together these three elements not only give an edge over the competition but also provide the solid foundation on which Cram Crew is built. By combining professionalism and vision with a focus on trusted relationships with customers and partners, he has achieved success in building and growing Cram Crew.

Outside of Cram Crew, Deepak loves spending time with his wife and two children, Bowie and Maverick. At any give time, you can find him reading the news or watching sports. Some of his favorite teams are the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Astros, and UH Coogs.
