Friday, January 16th, 2015
By forming an expanded executive team at Chick-fil-A – a move announced Thursday, CEO Dan T. Cathy has completed a leadership transition that began in earnest 14 months ago.
It was in November 2013 when he took over as the CEO – succeeding his late father, Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-A, who had served as the company’s top executive for more than 50 years.
