See who Retail Zoo tagged as the new big boss
There has been a shuffle in the management.
Effective on 1 July 2013, Scott Meneilly will be the new CEO of Retail Zoo. This is following the appointment of Jeff Allis, as the company’s Executive Chairman.
As Executive Chairman, Allis will be responsible for the company’s business platform, while his wife, Janine, will remain to be the company’s Director.
According to Allis, the role of the CEO is best fitted to the executive that is most connected to the frontline operations of the company.
“Scott is, in my mind, the best all round executive I have ever worked with in my career. The decision to appoint Scott as CEO was based on him being pivotal to running Retail Zoo’s brands - Boost Juice Bars, Boost International, Boost Foundation, Salsa’s Fresh Mex Grill, Cibo Espresso and Chicken Central,” said Allis.
Meneilly joined Boost Juice Bars in June 2008, and has over 20 years of experience in retail, hospitality, and quick service sectors.
“Each week over the past five years, I have learned a new lesson by being pushed, guided and challenged by some of the most talented people in the country. In that time, Retail Zoo has become its own brand and as it has grown, I have grown along with it and am emotionally connected as if it were my own.
“Getting to put my name to the business in its next chapter is incredibly exciting and a great honour for me. I cannot wait to roll through the next financial year and continue the highs,” added Meneilly.
