Chipotle Founder and Chairman Resigns
Restaurateur Steve Ells founded Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) 27 years ago and led the iconic fast-casual Mexican-food eatery for a quarter century before relinquishing the CEO's chair a little over two years ago. Now, he's exiting the building entirely.
On Friday morning, Chipotle announced that Ells, still believed to be "executive chairman" of Chipotle at the time, actually resigned his post effective March 3, 2020, and is no longer on the company's board of directors at all. His replacement as CEO of two years ago, Brian Niccol, has in fact also been Chipotle's chairman of the board since Tuesday.
