He takes over from Eduardo Luz, who will move into an advisory position until the end of April 2025.
Luz stated: “I am very proud to have worked for PF Chang’s and its ownership group, Paulson & Company, and TriArtisan Capital Advisors, to position the company for success and to have groomed a strong successor in Brad Hill. I look forward to seeing him excel in this role and wish him the best of luck.”
Hill added: “I am very excited to step into this new role I have very much aspired to. I look forward to leading this great company and all its dedicated people to new heights as we move forward.”
