Chief People Officer

Having the opportunity to influence the people's strategy and hopefully helping shape people's careers and lives for the better is a huge responsibility, but a huge opportunity and privilege as well.

Vice President of Culinary Innovation

Wendy’s takes sustainability seriously. Purposeful sourcing is an important part of our strategy. It all goes back to better quality products and a better eating experience for our guests at the end of the day.

One of my favorite stories is about a family that was traveling down the highway and they went through a pickup window at one restaurant and they forgot one of their sandwiches. And so they called us and we were able to pinpoint their location on where they were and then call ahead to the next restaurant at the next exit to let them know that this family would be swinging through to pick up their sandwich that they were missing. It was really seamless for them. They were just able to pull right in and get the sandwich that they needed and hit the road and take off and it made their day so much better.

Manager, Customer Care Operations, Social & Digital Team

I choose to work for a company whose values I believe in both personally and professionally. Treating everyone with respect, like family. These are important values that you find at Wendy's. You feel like you're a part of a family and cared for which is unique and special.

I've been able to work on a number of different areas in Marketing such as Brand Marketing, Merchandising, Advertising Production, and Partnership marketing. It is a contagious environment and the energy here is unlike anywhere else. There is always something new and different every day which keeps you on your toes.

Associate Brand Manager, Brand Activation Team

It's so fun to work on a brand that your family and friends know and can touch and feel.

Vice President, National Advertising

The people here really want to do better for each other and want everybody to perform as best as possible for themselves and for the whole company.

Vice President, Enterprise IT & Infrastructure Solutions

One of the things that I have passion for as a leader is that we give back to our community and I have the opportunity to be on the board of an organization called Alvis. And that's a local organization here in Columbus that focuses on providing re-entry services for those who are leaving the criminal justice system, but also they provide these services as well to the community at large who are in need. My participation on the board of Alvis really propelled me to win an award on behalf of the entire Wendy's company as being the 2018 Community Ambassador of the Year. And that came with a large grant to Alvis to help fund some of their family and children's programming. So - that in itself - that the brand recognized me for something that's ... near and dear to my heart. Allowing me to continue to be authentic and have a conduit to the community is a really, really big deal for me.

Women of Wendy's has really provided me a network of women as well as men, champions and mentors alike. We have development events but also just social events where people can meet up and have some Frosties, and we had a stylist come in and just get to know one another on a more social and personal level because we're all going through a lot of the same things. And it's a great environment that bolsters your confidence and hopefully it's doing the same for other women.
