October 6, 2010

Dunkin' Brands, Inc., parent company of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, has named Neil Moses as its new chief financial officer. He will assume the position on Nov. 16, and will report directly to Nigel Travis, Dunkin' Brands' CEO.

As CFO, Moses will be in charge of the company's financial functions, strategic planning, loss prevention and information technology services.

He joins Dunkin' Brands from Parametric Technology Corp. (PTC), a Massachusetts-based software company, where he served as executive vice president, CFO.

Prior to PTC, Moses served as executive vice president, CFO, at Axcelis Technologies, a semiconductor capital equipment manufacturer. He held the same position at Bradless, Inc. department store, and has also worked in finance at Ames Department Stores.

Moses received his bachelor's degree from Bowdoin College and his MBA from Dartmouth College's Amos Tuck School of Business.

"(Moses) has an established track record of helping to build successful companies and brings with him a thorough knowledge of finance, technology and strategic planning that is critical to a growing, global food service organization like Dunkin' Brands," said Travis. "With his strong financial acumen, strategic sense and extensive business experience, he is the perfect fit for our operations-focused culture and should help us achieve both our short- and long-term goals."

Moses replaces Kate Lavelle, who moved from Massachusetts to be closer to family in Alabama. Lavelle joined Dunkin' Brands as CFO in 2004 and continues to work as a consultant for the company.
