James Brown Appointed CEO of Prezzo

James Brown has resigned as CEO of BrewDog Bars after nearly two years to take on the role of chief executive at Prezzo, an Italian restaurant chain undergoing a recovery plan. Brown's tenure at BrewDog saw the brand expand from 18 to 135 locations globally since he joined in 2015. Prezzo, which was rescued from administration during the pandemic, is now focusing on growth and profitability after closing about a third of its sites last year. Under interim leadership, the company is reportedly evaluating a pipeline of new locations for expansion. Brown expressed enthusiasm about joining Prezzo and the potential for innovation and customer engagement in his new role. Former CEO Dean Challenger will return to Prezzo as chief financial officer.
