Search for New CFO
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (NASDAQ: RRGB), a full-service
restaurant chain serving an innovative selection of high-quality
gourmet burgers in a family-friendly atmosphere, today announced a
change in the Company’s restaurant operations leadership. Guy
Constant, who currently serves as the Company’s executive vice
president and chief financial officer, will move to the role of
executive vice president and chief operating officer for Red Robin
upon the hiring of a new chief financial officer and transfer of
duties, anticipated in early 2019. The Company has begun an
executive search for a new chief financial officer as part of Mr.
Constant’s transition to Operations leadership for Red Robin.
Mr. Constant will be replacing Carin Stutz, who served as Red
Robin’s executive vice president and chief operating officer since
April 2016, and is leaving that role effective immediately. Denny
Marie Post, Red Robin’s president and chief executive officer, will
serve as interim COO through the remainder of 2018, as Mr. Constant
transitions to his new role and while the search for a new CFO is
underway.
“As we look ahead to what Red Robin needs in Operations
leadership for the next stage of our business, we look forward to
leveraging the considerable skills and experience of Guy Constant.
He is the perfect person to lead our Operations team forward and to
partner with me as we pivot to a new future. He is highly strategic
and clearly understands the challenges we face, as well as how to
capitalize on our considerable opportunities. Guy’s experience
includes serving as international division president for a major
casual dining brand, overseeing both franchised and company-owned
locations, and he is looking forward to filling the Operations
leadership role here at Red Robin,” said Denny Marie Post, Red
Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. chief executive officer. “In addition
to Company and franchise operations, Guy will continue to lead
supply chain, facilities and development after the first of the
year.”
“Red Robin is committed to recapturing our momentum and to
regaining our operational edge in this increasingly complex and
competitive environment,” said Ms. Post. “Fortifying our leadership
team will help us address current and future challenges, which is
key to a financially sustainable future. We are grateful for the
many contributions Carin Stutz made to rebuilding our fundamentals
during the past two years and wish her the very best.”
