Founder and CEO Pinky Cole Hayes will continue in her role. A CEO tends to be the highest-ranking person in a company while a president is second in command. But the jobs entail different duties. A CEO oversees major corporate decisions and is often the public face of the company. A president focuses more on day-to-day operations and implementing growth strategies.
Slutty Vegan’s new president will “work directly with our CEO to shape the future of the brand, expand our footprint, and build a legacy in the plant-based food industry,” said the Instagram post.
A growing empire
Slutty Vegan’s first restaurant opened in 2018. Since then it has expanded to a dozen locations across the South and East US. The brand has also participated in several high profile collaborations, including with entrepreneur Angela Simmons on fried Oreos, and Shake Shack for a limited edition vegan burger.
