Jack in the Box Appoints Former Arby’s Executive as Its New CEO
After shedding three executives in short order back in January, fast-food chain Jack in the Box (NASDAQ: JACK) issued a press release today declaring its board of directors has chosen a new CEO, as well. Darin Harris, a 25-year industry veteran, will take up his new duties on June 15. At the same time, the company will get a new non-executive Chairman of the Board, David Goebel.
Harris got his start as a franchisee operating both Qdoba Mexican Grill (originally a Jack in the Box subsidiary, now a private company) and Papa John's outlets. He also served as the vice president of Captain D's Seafood, a privately held fast-casual restaurant, and as senior vice president of Arby's.
