LEXINGTON Ky. Fazoli's said it has named Monte Jump vice president of marketing and Scott Deibert vice president of supply chain management and quality assurance.
Carl Howard, president and chief executive of the quick-service Italian concept, said the hires were part of the 260-plus-unit chain’s “aggressive program to rebuild and grow the brand.”
“Monte and Scott both bring us a strong combination of experience and skills that will help us achieve our goals,” said Howard, who was hired last year by the chain’s owner, Sun Capital Partners Inc., to reverse six years of contraction.
Prior to joining Lexington-based Fazoli’s, Jump was vice president of marketing for OSI Restaurant Partners’ Carrabba’s Italian Grill casual-dining chain. Before that, he held a similar post at Golden Corral.
Fazoli’s marketing director Stacy Hettich will report to Jump, the company said.
Deibert succeeds Judy Hollis, who left the company, and joins Fazoli’s from family-restaurant operator The Steak N Shake Co., where he was vice president of supply chain management. Earlier, he had the same title at the Arby’s Cooperative Purchasing organization and spent 14 years in supply chain management and logistics at McDonald’s Corp., Fazoli's said.
