Wahlburgers didn’t have too look further than their own backyard for their new CEO. It was announced that the Boston-area based burger restaurant corporation, that its interim CEO, Patrick Renna, accepted the role of President of Wahlburgers effective immediately.
In June 2018, Renna stepped in as interim CEO in addition to filling his CFO role, and has since introduced several strategic initiatives to build on the company’s existing foundation and set its future for growth. The CEO position was reclassified as President, better suiting the company’s internal executive structure.
“Patrick’s contributions to this organization have been invaluable,” said Mark Wahlberg. “My brothers and I could not be more supportive of Patrick leading us towards the next phase of growth.”
“This is such an exciting time for Wahlburgers. I’m so thankful to the entire Wahlberg
family who has provided me with this opportunity, and happy to continue on in this leadership role during the brand’s invigorating growth,” said Renna.
