Jack in the Box Inc. said Brian Scott, the company’s chief financial officer, has accepted a position outside of the restaurant industry and would step down, effective Nov. 20.
The San Diego, Calif.-based company said Dawn Hooper, a Jack in the Box veteran of 24 years, would assume the role of principal financial officer on Nov. 1 and would become interim CFO upon Scott’s departure. She is expected to remain in the role until a permanent successor is appointed.
“I’d like to thank Brian for his contributions to Jack in the Box, and for being a valuable part of our team during his time with the company,” Darin Harris, Jack in the Box CEO, said in a statement.
Scott said; “I want to thank Darin and the entire leadership team for the opportunity to work side by side with such a passionate and driven organization. I am confident that both the Jack in the Box and Del Taco brands will continue to make strides in achieving their strategic goals and delivering long-term shareholder value.”
Jack in the Box Inc. has about 2,200 restaurants across 21 states. It also owns the Del Taco brand, which has about 600 restaurants across 16 states.
