After four years with Taco Bell, global chief brand officer Marisa Thalberg is leaving the company.

Announced internally on Friday, Thalberg, who had a stint as the company’s chief marketing officer, followed up on LinkedIn, writing, “Having led Taco Bell to record-breaking sales (with a +7% for the quarter announced yesterday) and to pretty amazing heights of cultural excitement and relevance, I have been ready to take on a new challenge with even broader scope and opportunity for me, and it felt like now was the big moment to go for it.”
