​O'Learys expands and recruits new CEO

O'Learys Trademark has during the past ten years developed into Sweden’s major players in the restaurant business with 120 franchised restaurants in eleven countries. The expansion will continue with more restaurants on new markets as well as with new brands and concepts, which requires O'Learys Trademark to evolve as a corporate and franchise organization.

- As a natural part of the development of the company we initiate the recruiting process for a new CEO. Wilhelm Vintilescu who has been CEO since 2003, will assume responsibility for the chain's international expansion and will take a seat as a member of the board, says Lars Edengréen, Chairman of the Board O'Learys Trademark.

O'Learys is now present with operations in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Turkey, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam and in the UAE (United Arab Emirates).

- It feels good to hand over as a CEO in a time when things are going better than ever for the company and we also strengthen our support organization with more services, says Wilhelm Vintilescu, CEO O'Learys Trademark. To hand over the leadership to a new CEO after 13 years is a natural and important step for O'Learys’ continued development. On top of the agenda is always to support and develop our concepts for the franchisees. Separating the role as a CEO and the responsibility for the company's international expansion will give further force to the whole organization.
