Boston Market has named Eric Wyatt its chief operating officer, the Golden, Colo.-based company said Monday.

Most recently he was vice president of operations for a large Panera Bread franchisee where he oversaw day-to-day operations including retail, marketing, recruiting, human resources, catering facilities and bakery. He also has held senior operations roles at Starbucks, Taco Bell, Bath & Body Works and Mobil Oil.

“Eric is a results-driven restaurant industry executive and brings a proven track record of operational leadership and experience to Boston Market,” CEO Frances Allen said in a press release. “He will be a key leader in developing and executing our strategic plan going forward and will be focused on flawless operational execution to deliver a highly satisfied guest experience.”
