Bojangles’ Inc. announced that Jayson Romeo has been named vice president of information technology and strategic planning for Bojangles’ Restaurants Inc. In his new role, Romeo is responsible for spearheading corporate strategic initiatives designed to drive IT and organizational efficiencies, and leading the implementation of new technology across the business.

During that time he has been successfully leading the implementation of a new point-of-sale (POS) system in Bojangles’ company-operated restaurants, and realigning the company’s IT Department.
“Not only has Jayson brought years of [quick service] experience to the Bojangles’ leadership team, he is a forward thinking business leader with the ability to drive strategic initiatives across the finish line,” says president and CEO Clifton Rutledge. “As a result of Jayson’s strategic planning expertise and extraordinary leadership of our IT Department, we have exceeded many of our project implementation goals in 2015. I am extremely excited that Jayson has agreed to take on these expanded responsibilities on a permanent basis.”
