Atlanta — Zaxbys® has appointed Michael Dixon as its new chief financial officer, effective March 30. Dixon will report to Bernard Acoca, chief executive officer at Zaxbys.
“Mike’s demonstrated success in accelerating and scaling financial performance across QSR organizations, maximizing unit economics and managing complex financial environments makes him a perfect fit for Zaxbys next chapter,” says Acoca. “As Zaxbys continues the brand’s national growth and expansion I am confident in our ability to grow to win with Mike’s leadership.”
Dixon brings over 30 years of accomplished financial leadership experience across restaurant, retail and entertainment companies. Most recently, Dixon served as chief financial officer of GoTo Foods where he nearly doubled the size of the brand portfolio’s business.

As Zaxbys’ chief financial officer, Dixon will serve as a key member of the brand’s executive leadership team, responsible for leading the finance function, including financial strategy, planning and analytics, accounting and treasury, as the brand continues its national expansion after eclipsing 1,000 stores in 2025.
