This January 2017 photo provided by Subway shows the interior of a remodeled Subway store in Knoxville, Tenn. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP-Chris Radcliffe/Subway via AP U.S. sandwich chain Subway on Monday named former Burger King executive Jonathan Fitzpatrick as its CEO starting July 28, tapping a fast-food industry veteran to lift sales and help expand its business globally. Most recently, Fitzpatrick served as president and CEO of automotive services firm Driven Brands DRVN.O. Prior to that, he held several leadership positions in Burger King, including executive vice president, and chief brand and operations officer. Subway, which operates nearly 37,000 restaurants worldwide, was bought by private equity firm Roark Capital about two years ago in a deal that valued the company at up to $9.55 billion, including debt. Fitzpatrick replaces John Chidsey, who stepped down at the end of last year after five years at the helm. The company said Fitzpatrick will work with interim CEO Carrie Walsh during the transition.

Through the Now platform, ServiceNow supports diverse workflows, ranging from IT service management and customer service to HR, employee experience and app development. However, NOW shares have suffered from a worsening macroeconomic environment due to higher tariffs and trade uncertainty.

Valuation: NOW Shares Overvalued NOW Benefits From Strong Portfolio, Rich Partner Base ServiceNow is extensively leveraging AI and machine learning technologies to boost the potency of its solutions. NOW's expanding portfolio has been a major driver.

NVIDIA and NOW collaborated to launch AI agents for the telecom industry. The AI agents were built with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and the AI platform NVIDIA DGX Cloud. ServiceNow has expanded its partnership with NVIDIA to enhance agentic AI by integrating NVIDIA Llama Nemotron reasoning models and AI agent evaluation tools into the ServiceNow Platform for optimized business transformation. Acquisitions have also played an important role in expanding NOW's portfolio.
