Subway hires new CEO

Subway has hired Jonathan Fitzpatrick as its new chief executive officer, effective 28 July.

Fitzpatrick brings more than two decades of experience to his new role, most recently serving as president and chief executive of automotive specialist Driven Brands, where he led a team to 17 consecutive quarters of same-store sales growth.

Prior to that, Fitzpatrick held a variety of management positions at Burger King, including executive vice president, chief brand and operations officer.

During his tenure with the company, Fitzpatrick led the largest menu overhaul in the brand's history, streamlined restaurant operations, and rethought the guest experience, modernising the restaurant's overall image.

Subway said Fitzpatrick will work closely with interim chief executive Carrie Walsh to ensure a seamless transition.

"I'm honoured to lead this iconic brand that has been serving guests around the world for 60 years," Fitzpatrick said.
