July, 2023: Julie Felss Masino, Taco Bell’s international president, succeeds Sandra Cochran, who served as CEO and president of Cracker Barrel since 2011. [...] Masino has about two decades of experience working with restaurant companies, most recently serving as Taco Bell International president for over three years. In that role she oversaw the growth of the division to over 1,000 restaurants across 32 countries, according to the press release. She also spent two years as the chain’s North America president. While at Taco Bell, she partnered with franchisees and teams to open over 800 new units across the U.S. and internationally. Most of Masino’s restaurant career was spent at Starbucks, where she held several positions over 12 years. Her roles included interim CMO of Starbucks China, VP of strategy Americas and EMEA, VP of global beverage and VP of global merchandise and packaged food.

She looks remarkably young to have already had such a career.

Generic careerist CEO’s that have never built anything in their lives but take over successful corporations and ride on momentum but never provide energy of acceleration.

She looks remarkably young to have already had such a career.

Based on her resume and her apparent age I'd say she was rocketed to the top without having to work her way up. And it worked when she was caretaker for booming brands. Now with a troubled brand her inexperience is showing I think.
