Barrago’s appointment follows a broader push by Chipotle to bolster its executive ranks with seasoned restaurant industry talent. His background includes a 16-year tenure at Yum! Restaurants International, providing him with a deep understanding of scaling complex systems in competitive markets.
This leadership shift coincides with the recent addition of Sabir Sami to Chipotle’s board of directors. Sami, who served as CEO of KFC until early 2025, brings three decades of global experience to the company. According to Chipotle Chairman Scott Maw, the inclusion of such expertise is intended to support the firm’s goal of scaling operations with intention while expanding brand access on a global scale.
