Aman Narang, CEO of Toast

“With our Fall Release, we expanded Toast IQ Grow and launched Toast IQ Team, moving Toast beyond tools that help operators run their business toward agents that take on the work for them. Our results show our priorities at work, and I’m confident in our path to durable growth for years to come.”

Aman Narang, CEO of Toast

“Elena has been an exceptional partner to me and has played a critical role in shaping Toast’s success and financial strategy over the last five and a half years. We’ve scaled this business 6x since we IPO’d in 2021, dramatically improved profitability as the business has scaled, and built out the team and product lines to continue to drive durable growth over the long term. We wouldn’t be here without Elena’s contributions and leadership that have helped drive such incredible results”

“Serving as Toast’s President and Chief Financial Officer has been the highlight of my professional career. It has been a privilege to work for an organization with such a powerful mission alongside an incredible management team. I am proud of what we have built together – taking Toast public, scaling to $2.5B ARR and approximately 189,000 locations globally. It is now time for me to take a break before my next chapter. I have the greatest confidence in the company, and in Michael Senno as Toast’s next CFO. Toast is in a strong financial position and I look forward to watching the team’s continued growth and success.”
