Dunkin' Brands CFO Paul Carbone resigns

Kate Jaspon to fill position on interim basis

Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. chief financial officer Paul Carbone will resign effective April 21 to take a management position in the specialty retail industry, the parent to Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins said Thursday.

Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin’ Brands named Kate Jaspon, the company’s vice president of finance and treasurer, to serve as interim CFO upon Carbone’s departure. Jaspon will report directly to CEO Nigel Travis.

The company said it “is undertaking a comprehensive search for a permanent CFO and will consider both internal and external candidates.”

Jaspon has been with Dunkin’ Brands for 11 years, joining in 2005 as assistant controller. She was later promoted to vice president, controller and corporate treasurer, and has held her current title since 2014.

“Kate is a talented financial executive with a deep understanding of Dunkin' Brands,” Travis said in a statement. “She has helped lead us through a number of important transactions, including our IPO and follow-on equity offerings, securitization and several debt restructurings, and has overseen the implementation of our enterprise risk management program.” 

As of Dec. 27, Dunkin' Brands' fully franchised business included more than 12,200 Dunkin' Donuts locations and more than 7,800 Baskin-Robbins units.
