Torchy’s Tacos has named its first chief marketing and chief people officers, the company said Monday.
The Austin-based fast-casual company said it has named Scott Hudler, left, chief marketing officer and Elizabeth Baxter chief people officer.
“I’m very excited to have Scott and Elizabeth as part of the leadership team to help us write the next chapter of growth for this amazing brand,” said G.J. Hart, who was named Torchy’s CEO last January.
Hudler most recently was chief marketing officer for Dick’s Sporting Goods. Previously, he was chief digital officer at Dunkin’ Brands Inc.
