DALLAS — Nothing Bundt Cakes is bolstering its senior leadership team with the addition of Wanda Williams as COO.
“Nothing Bundt Cakes has doubled in size over the past five years, and Wanda is a proven leader who will help seamlessly manage operations and franchise success for our continually growing system,” said Dolf Berle, CEO of Nothing Bundt Cakes. “Her expertise in franchisee relations, strategic operations and sustainable innovation will be invaluable as we continue to expand our brand and support our bakery owners.”
In her most recent role as head of global franchising for Yum! Brands, Williams led overall franchise system management and franchisee relations across four major brands, working with over 1,500 franchisees. Before that, Williams served as VP of operations at Pizza Hut where she was responsible for enhancing the restaurant and delivery experience.
As COO for Nothing Bundt Cakes, Williams will oversee operations, team development and communications for more than 600 bakeries.
“Joining this vibrant brand at such a pivotal moment presents an incredible opportunity to be part of a remarkable success story,” Williams said. “Nothing Bundt Cakes is not only a beloved, fast-growing brand but also has a strong commitment to product innovation, quality and delighting our guests with every visit. By working closely with our bakery owners, we will continue to drive profitable growth, develop team members and enhance our bakery-level financials and performance.”
The appointment aligns with Nothing Bundt Cake’s growth initiative. The bakery brand recently opened its 600th bakery location, with plans to open its 1,000th location by 2027.
