“In today’s highly competitive marketplace, each team will be able to benefit from the knowledge and experience Trevor will bring to his new role,” said Subway President and CEO Suzanne Greco in a statement. “The 11 years of global experience Trevor brings, and his deep understanding of international markets, will allow him to provide a critical perspective to the Regional Directors and help each identify and overcome the challenges they face.”

The announcement comes on the heels of Subway’s appointment of Carissa Ganelli as its new chief digital officer.
