Mahesh Sadarangani is now chief operating officer for Wingstop Inc. He previously served as senior vice president of channel strategy, according to a press release.

In his new role he will oversee domestic operations and continue to report to Chairman and CEO Charlie Morrison. Larry Kruguer resigned from the COO post on December 26, 2019.

Mahesh, who has more than two decades of leadership experience, joined Wingstop in July 2019 after serving as chief administrative officer for CEC Entertainment and president of the Peter Piper Pizza brand.

During his time as SVP of channel strategy, Mahesh helped strengthen and refine the execution of Wingstop's growth strategy and led the completion of the rollout of national delivery.

"Since joining the team, Mahesh has spent a significant amount of time focusing on in-restaurant processes, developing meaningful relationships with our brand partners and learning the ins and outs of our operations," said Morrison in the release. "We’'re continually investing in our people to ensure we have the right team to propel our company to the next level, and Mahesh's vast experience in operations and formulating strategy make him an excellent choice to lead our domestic operations while we continue down our path of becoming a top 10 global restaurant brand.

"I would also like to sincerely thank Larry for his commitment to Wingstop over the past five years and recognize the significant contributions he made to grow the business both domestically and abroad."
