Jack in the Box on Monday announced the promotion of a trio of executives to C-level positions.

Adrienne Ingoldt, currently vice president of marketing communications, has been named chief brand and experience officer.

Ingoldt has led the marketing communications team and has been with the San Diego-based chain for the past four years.

Jennifer Kennedy was named chief product and innovation officer. The 10-year company veteran had previously led the product marketing team, overseeing product development, product marketing and innovation.

Sarah Super, currently the company’s general counsel, was named chief risk officer. Super has been with Jack in the Box for the past six years leading the company’s legal team.

“We recognized Adrienne, Jen and Sarah’s substantial contributions over the past few years, and their positive impact on the business as a whole,” CEO Lenny Comma said in a statement. “These executives have brought great value to our company and in their new roles will continue to serve the needs of all our stakeholders.”

The trio of promotions comes amid uncertainty at the top of Jack in the Box. Comma last year announced plans to step down as CEO. And the company has made a number of changes to its executive team amid cost cuts at the franchisor. The changes included the departure of its chief legal officer and chief of staff.
