QUALITY IS OUR RECIPE - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Chief Development Officer
- President, International
Abigail has served as our President, International and Chief Development Officer since June 2019. She has held a host of leadership roles at Wendy's since joining the Company in 2002, including Chief Global Development Officer and International, Chief Development Officer, Senior Vice President of Restaurant Development and Growth Initiatives, and Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Planning.
A high-energy leader, she thrives on big challenges and effectively leads her teams through significant transitions - evidenced by the central role she's played in Wendy's return to growth since 2013.
Abigail's fingerprints are all over our restaurants, so to speak. She's been responsible for restaurant design, real estate, construction and franchise development, and she led an initiative to redesign crew member uniforms, packaging and the logo that helped reinvigorate our brand. In her current role, Abigail leads all aspects of our International business outside of the United States and is responsible for all restaurant and franchise development across the globe.
Further, Abigail is the executive sponsor of Women of Wendy's, our employee network focused on developing and empowering female leaders at Wendy's.
Although Abigail's favorite menu item is the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, she fully appreciates fresh beef. She grew up on a cattle farm in Maine, and her family dined at the only Wendy's in town because her father loved the brand (and because the restaurant served North American fresh, never frozen beef).
Prior to Wendy's, Abigail spent six years at the global professional services company Accenture, where she led various clients in the areas of process reengineering, systems implementations, organizational design and change management.
She serves on the board of directors and the executive committee of the Columbus, Ohio Chamber of Commerce, for which she previously chaired the strategy committee. Abigail also serves on the advisory boards of Dupler Office, a privately held company, and Denison University, her alma mater.
