“At Dunkin’ Brands, our goal is to offer an exceptional customer experience at our restaurants around the world, and that will only happen if we hire, develop and retain the best employees in the quick-service restaurant industry,” Travis said in a statement. “With her executive leadership skills and her passion for organizational development, Ginger is eminently qualified to help us achieve that goal and, as a result, drive the global growth of Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins.”

Most recently, she led a global team of human resources employees at healthcare company Novartis International AG. Previously, she held positions at the healthcare companies Novo Nordisk and Bristol Myers Squibb. She also has served as a consultant to technology consulting firm Booz Allen & Hamilton.

“I am delighted to be joining Dunkin’ Brands, a company with two of the world’s best-loved brands and one of the premier franchising concepts in the world,” Gregory said. “I look forward to working with the company leadership and our franchisee community to attract and retain great talent for Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins restaurants around the world.”
