Noodles & Company (Nasdaq: NDLS) has hired a new chief financial officer, completing the restaurant chain’s leadership team and capping a month of significant moves as the company seeks to continue its rebounding 2018 performance.
Ken Kuick will begin as CFO at the Broomfield-based company on Nov. 12, Noodles officials said in a statement. Kuick most recently served as chief accounting officer for VICI Properties, a real estate investment trust that was spun out of Caesars Entertainment Corp. (Nasdaq: CZR). Before that, he served as CAO for Caesars Entertainment, playing a key role in the company’s emergence from bankruptcy.
“Ken brings extensive leadership experience and expertise in accounting and finance functions from a diverse group of successful businesses, and he will be instrumental in developing our financial road map over the next several years,” Noodles CEO Dave Boennighausen said in the statement.
Kuick succeeds Sue Daggett, who had served as interim CFO from June 2017 until this summer, when she became CFO at Qdoba Mexican Eats, a former Denver-area company that now is headquartered in San Diego.
Noodles officials also announced Friday that Melissa Heidman was promoted to executive vice president, general counsel and secretary.
