Lexington, Ky. — Fazoli’s has made three new appointments within its corporate finance department, including the hiring of David Hasler as chief financial officer. Hasler spent the past 10 years in finance roles with Walmart, most recently as senior director of global treasury.
Additional executive announcements in the finance department include:
• Tracy Haskins, CPA, has been promoted to vice president of finance and treasury. A 20-year Fazoli’s veteran, Haskins has been an instrumental part of financial transactions and capital restructuring events throughout her career with the company.
• Spencer Houlihan has rejoined Fazoli’s in the newly created role of vice president, financial planning and analysis. Houlihan originally started with the company in 2008 as a senior financial analyst and is back after a 1-year hiatus with University of Kentucky Healthcare.
“The Fazoli’s brand is very fortunate to be starting off the year with such an impressive team guiding our finance department,” says Carl Howard, president and chief executive officer of Fazoli’s. “Tracy and Spencer are company veterans who have played an integral part in our success, while David brings a wealth of financial experience and expertise to the CFO role. We are in the midst of capitalizing on incredible franchise growth and 15 consecutive quarters of positive same-store sales, and I can’t think of better leaders to be at the financial helm during this exciting time.”
Prior to his 10 years at Walmart, Hasler served in similar roles at The Body Shop International plc, Limited Brands and Procter & Gamble.
