The new CEO is familiar with global goals.

“When we recruited Dave to Dunkin' Brands 18 months ago with the intent that he would succeed me as CEO, we knew that we were getting a world-class leader with extensive restaurant industry expertise, and he has exceeded all of our expectations,” Travis said.

Dunkin’s stock traded down about 1.3 percent Wednesday, but remained up 30.1 percent year-over-year.
