Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc., the parent company of Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins, has hired three regional vice presidents, the company announced Wednesday.

They will oversee Dunkin’ operations and development in key regions, with Maria Hollandsworth in the West, Jorge Salvat in the Central Atlantic and Peter Green in the Mid-Atlantic.

Hollandsworth most recently was vice president of strategic initiatives and operations services for Jack in the Box. Salvat worked for Burger King for 15 years and spent eight years with McDonald’s. Green has worked with Dunkin’ for nearly seven years, most recently serving as regional vice president for the West.

"We're very pleased to have Maria and Jorge join the Dunkin' operations team and to appoint Peter to Regional Vice President for the Mid-Atlantic," Rick Colon, senior vice president of operations and development for Dunkin’ Brands, said in a statement. "Maria, Jorge and Peter are seasoned operations leaders with a wealth of experience driving operational excellence, developing their people and supporting franchisees' profitable growth. We look forward to their contributions to the Dunkin' business as we continue our work to better support our franchisees and better serve our guests."
