BOSTON Wendy’s International said it has named Kerrii Anderson president and CEO.

She had held those posts on an interim basis since former chief executive Jack Schuessler stepped down in April.

“I am pleased with the progress we are making on the initiatives we announced in October to revitalize the Wendy’s brand,” Anderson, 49, said in a statement. Those efforts include menu additions and design improvements for existing restaurants. To generate savings, the chain has curtailed short-term expansion plans.
