Dunkin’ Brands reorganizes executive ranks

CANTON Mass. Dunkin’ Brands Inc., parent of the Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins chains, said Monday it reorganized some of its executive ranks last Friday.

Among the executives let go June 5 were Stephen J. Caldeira, Dunkin’ Brands’ chief global communications officer, and Margie Myers, senior vice president of communications, said spokeswoman Michelle King.

King said Caldeira’s and Myers' positions would be replaced by one senior-level communications officer in the coming weeks, and that Stephen Horn, chief legal officer, would be taking responsibility for handling the company’s government affairs.

She noted that Dunkin’ has eliminated 50 staff positions in the recent past, although the Canton-based company recently hired a new senior vice president of human resources, who was not identified. The company also has created several new senior-level positions that are expected to assist in Dunkin’s growth.

“The organizational changes at Dunkin’ Brands reflect our ongoing and continued efforts to streamline all areas of our business to allow us to operate as effectively and efficiently as possible,“ she said. “More importantly, they will help to strengthen the Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins brands for the future.

“We remain dedicated to expanding our brands and continuing to grow steadily and strategically, both domestically and internationally,” she continued. “Like most forward-thinking companies, Dunkin' Brands is also committed to investing resources to support key strategic plan initiatives designed to fuel innovation, drive sales and increase franchisee profitability. We are looking forward to an exciting and successful remainder of 2009.”

Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins together have more than 14,000 locations worldwide.
