SAN DIEGO - April 10, 2017 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) today announced that Jerry Rebel plans to retire as the company’s Chief Financial Officer in 2018.

“Jerry has been a key driver in the transformation of our business model since joining the company in 2003,” said Lenny Comma, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The company, its shareholders and other stakeholders are better off as a result of his vision and leadership.
