Coffeehouse chain Spot Coffee has named Colleen Hobson as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

Hobson will succeed Ying Chen who helped the company increase its presence to 24 locations across the country over the last few years.

Currently working as a certified public accountant, Hobson previously served as the CFO of Spot Coffee and is re-joining the company now.

Hobson maintained the role of consultant to the company’s chairman and directors, which allowed her to be aware of the company’s progress and developing business plan.

“Our top priorities are to maintain quality and improve our systems in preparation for further growth.”

After joining the coffeehouse chain, Hobson will formulate business and financial strategies for its projected expansion to 50 locations by the end of 2020.
