George Michel will become CEO of Boston Market Corp. on Monday, replacing F. Lane Cardwell, who was at the helm of the Golden-based food chain less than 17 months.

Michel previously was president and CEO of Toronto-based Timothy’s Coffees of the World Inc., which was acquired by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters last November, and before that was CEO of A&W Restaurants and an executive with Burger King Corp. and Brinker International, according to the Denver Business Journal.

McDonalds purchased Boston Market in 2000.
