Pivot > congratulates Mark King on his appointment as Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of Jack in the Box. 

Jack in the Box noted that Mark will help guide the company through its next phase of transformation and strategic execution while the company conducts a search for a permanent CEO. His appointment reflects the growing importance of experienced operational leadership in today’s rapidly evolving consumer and restaurant environment. 

Mark serves as a Senior Advisor within Pivot >’s HALO Group, where he works closely with CEOs, boards, investors, and leadership teams navigating complex operational, transformational, and growth-related situations. HALO was created to provide executive leaders with practical, experience-driven support from former operators and CEOs who have led organizations through periods of disruption, strategic change, and high-stakes decision-making. 

“Mark brings a rare combination of operational discipline, strategic leadership, and culture expertise,” said Lance Miller, Pivot > Managing Partner. “His ability to lead through complexity and transformation is an asset and will certainly guide Jack in the Box through this critical period.” 

Pivot > is excited to see Mark step into this leadership role and looks forward to the continued momentum ahead for the Jack in the Box brand and franchise community.
