Chipotle bets on growth as Scott Boatwright takes charge

Chipotle is navigating a tougher fast-food landscape under new CEO Scott Boatwright, who took over after Brian Niccol left for Starbucks. With backing from major investor Bill Ackman, Boatwright is expanding the brand into Mexico for the first time and launching new menu offerings, including Chipotle’s first high-protein lineup, to sustain growth despite tariffs and weaker consumer demand.
