Moody previously served as GC of the US operations
MTY Food Group Inc. – the Montreal-based franchisor and operator of multiple restaurant brands worldwide – has promoted Jenny Moody to chief legal officer of the North American division.
Moody joined the US division of MTY in 2010 and has since served in multiple roles of increasing responsibility, including senior vice president and deputy general counsel, and most recently general counsel of all of MTY's US operations. She has also served as a longtime member and treasurer of the organization's community outreach and diversity group and as a senior member of MTY's Environmental, Social and Governance committee.
"Since the acquisition of Kahala Brands in 2016, Jenny has been an incredible contributor to the success of MTY. After successfully and seamlessly integrating the legal function for all of the US, where two thirds of MTY's network is located today, the logical next step was to bring the entire North American legal function together under Jenny's leadership,” said Eric Lefebvre, chief executive officer of MTY.
"Jenny brings a lot of experience, credibility and enthusiasm to our leadership team. She will work with our existing, accomplished legal teams located in our various offices to accelerate the development and implementation of new initiatives that will support our goals for the long-term."
Moody added: “I’m genuinely thankful and excited to continue partnering with the legal and business teams in supporting MTY's overall business and growth objectives.
“I have witnessed first-hand MTY's limitless potential as talented people in our organization – many of which have been with MTY for many years - have continuously come together to accomplish significant milestones such as reaching over 7,000 unit count globally and surpassing the $5 billion mark in system sales1 during the last four quarters.”
