Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. announced Scott Boatwright as its permanent chief executive officer, effective immediately.
Boatwright had been serving as interim CEO since August, when Brian Niccol vacated the role to become CEO of Starbucks Corp. Boatwright, 52, was previously chief operating officer and chief restaurant officer at Chipotle, which he joined from Arby’s in 2017. The burrito chain said its board made the decision “after a robust and thorough process.”
