Jack in the Box CEO turns company around
October 23, 2006
Parumas Post: Since taking over as chairwoman and chief executive at Jack in the Box last year, Linda Lang has presided over three profitable quarters and a 74 percent increase in the company's stock price as the San Diego-based chain diversifies to pull in nontraditional fast-food customers.
Lang is implementing a plan she helped map several years ago to build a multipronged restaurant company that does not depend solely on burger sales to young men.
