Tortilla announces board changes
Tortilla has announced two board changes to support its next phase of growth.
This will include Francesca Tiritiello being appointed as a new independent non-executive director with effect from 20 September.
Possessing a wealth of business development, franchise, finance and M&A experience, Tiritiello is currently a partner and co-founder of Kikkirossi, a European boutique advisory firm specialising in international franchise and brand development. Prior to that, she held a number of director and chief financial officer roles in European hospitality businesses, including Yum! Brands.
Emma Woods, chair of Tortilla, said: “We are really delighted that Francesca will be joining the board of Tortilla. She brings huge insight in successfully operating, developing and franchising restaurant brands across markets, and I have no doubt that her experience will prove invaluable during this period of exciting growth for Tortilla, both in the UK and internationally as we look to expand in line with our long-term growth strategy.”
The fast fast-casual Mexican food group has also appointed Laurence Keen as senior independent director.
Tortilla said: “Laurence’s skills as the chief financial officer of Hollywood Bowl have transferred this year to make him a highly effective PLC non-executive board member for Tortilla and he will now take on these SID responsibilities as well as continuing to chair the audit committee.”
