The Quiznos sandwich chain has tapped a former Yum Brands Inc. executive as its new president.
David Deno served as chief operating officer at Louisville-based Yum, which owns Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut and other fast-food chains, until December 2005, when he resigned for “personal reasons.”
Before taking over as COO, he served as chief financial officer for Yum.
At Quiznos, Deno is in charge of the Denver-based company’s field operations, operations support, delivery and catering sales and implementation.
He also heads international development and oversees food and equipment distribution.
Between Yum and Quiznos, Deno was managing director of CCMP Capital, an ownership partner in Quiznos. While at CCMP, Deno sat on the Quiznos board.
Louisville — and Yum Brands — has been a rich source of executives for Quiznos over the past year.
