Toast, Inc. announced the appointment of Aman Narang as CEO, effective January 1, 2024. Narang has served as Toast?s Co-President since December 2012 and Chief Operating Officer since June 2021. He will take over as CEO from Chris Comparato, who has served as the company?s CEO since February 2015, leading Toast through a remarkable period of growth with a focus on profitability and operational excellence.
