Papa John’s International, Inc. is welcoming a new marketing leader to its C-suite.
Jenna Bromberg has been named chief marketing officer at the pizza giant, and will step into the new role effective Nov. 14. She joins Papa Johns from Carter’s Inc., where she spent more than four years and served most recently as VP of brand marketing & creative.
