Jack in the Box has announced the appointment of Taylor Montgomery as its new president. The change in leadership is set to take effect on September 14, 2026.
Montgomery is joining the San Diego-based quick-service restaurant chain from Taco Bell, a brand under the Yum! Brands umbrella. He spent more than a decade at Taco Bell, where his most recent position was global chief marketing officer.
In a statement regarding the move, Montgomery described Jack in the Box as an iconic brand. The full details of his strategic plans for the company were not provided in the initial announcement.
The appointment marks a significant shift in the executive leadership of the restaurant chain. Montgomery’s background in marketing at a major global brand is expected to inform his approach to the Jack in the Box portfolio. The transition will occur over the coming weeks, with the new president officially starting his duties in mid-September.
