Sweetgreen adds former Chipotle, Spotify execs to board

LOS ANGELES - Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG), a major player in the fast-casual restaurant sector, has announced the upcoming nomination of two new members to its Board of Directors. The nominees, Monty Moran, former co-CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Dawn Ostroff, former Chief Content and Advertising Business Officer at Spotify, are set to be elected at Sweetgreen’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Jonathan Neman, Co-Founder and CEO of Sweetgreen, expressed confidence that the new nominees will contribute significantly to the company’s growth and customer engagement. Moran’s experience in scaling Chipotle to national prominence and Ostroff’s expertise in digital content strategy are seen as valuable assets for Sweetgreen’s future development.

Moran is recognized for his role in transforming Chipotle into a successful national brand with a commitment to quality ingredients and a people-first culture. His previous leadership at a Denver-based law firm and his entrepreneurial background are expected to align with Sweetgreen’s mission-driven approach.

Ostroff brings a wealth of experience in the media and technology sectors, having played a key role in expanding Spotify’s global content strategy. Her prior positions at Condé Nast, The CW, Lifetime, and UPN, along with board roles at companies like Activision Blizzard and Westfield Corporation, are anticipated to bolster Sweetgreen’s brand and digital initiatives.

The announcement coincides with the departure of long-serving directors Youngme Moon and Valerie Jarrett, who have chosen not to stand for re-election. Neman acknowledged their significant contributions to the company’s governance and strategic direction over the years.

Sweetgreen, founded in 2007, has grown to 250 locations across the United States and aims to lead the next generation of restaurants focused on quality, community, and innovation. The company is known for its commitment to sourcing high-quality ingredients and investing in local farmers while leveraging technology to enhance customer experience.
