White Castle has named Anthony Joseph as its president. Joseph previously served as chief administrative officer and general counsel for the Ohio-based burger brand, according to a press release.

Joseph is the first non-family member to step into the president's role in White Castle's 104-year history. He has been with the brand since 2016 and has led the company's legal, risk management, organizational development, technology and corporate relations functions. He will now oversee White Castle's retail and manufacturing divisions as well.

"Anthony's keen intellect, insight and devotion to the people of White Castle is evident in everything he does," Lisa Ingram, a fourth-generation family member and White Castle's CEO, said in the release. "His leadership of our strategic planning process and great ability to build highly successful teams will serve us well as he takes on the additional responsibilities as president. I'm thankful for his guidance, which I'll continue to rely on as I focus on my role as our CEO and chair of the board."

Joseph said it is an honor to be named president.

"We're a 104-year-old family-owned business with our best adventures and achievements still ahead of us," he said in the release. "It's humbling to be part of an enterprise devoted to making such a positive difference for our customers, our communities and our teams. I look forward to building on all our past success as we embrace our many opportunities for continued growth."

Prior to joining White Castle, Joseph spent over 15 years at food and beverage company Concessions International, serving as general counsel and later president. He has served on boards for the National Restaurant Association and Columbus State Community College and is an active board member of the Ohio History Connection and Grassroot Soccer.

White Castle has about 340 restaurants and is based in Columbus, Ohio.
