Jack in the Box on Monday said its CFO, Tim Mullany, has resigned from the company.

The San Diego-based fast-food operator, which operates both Jack in the Box and Del Taco, said that it has started a search for a successor. Dawn Hooper, VP, controller and financial reporting, will oversee finance in the interim. Mullany’s departure is effective Feb. 2, 2023.

Mullany joined Jack in the Box in early 2021 and most recently led the Del Taco acquisition. The company also said that he “made significant contributions” supporting the two chains’ Shared Services organization.

“I appreciate Tim’s partnership as he guided us through a period of unprecedented inflation while simultaneously integrating our two brands this year,” Jack in the Box CEO Darin Harris said in a statement.

Jack in the Box operates 2,200 locations. Del Taco has 600. The Mexican chain is selling most of its 300 corporate locations to franchisees.
