VANCOUVER, WASH. -- Papa Murphy's International, parent of the nearly 1,000-unit Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza brand, has hired Taco Bell veteran Clarice Turner as president and chief operating officer.

Turner, who was headquarters operations director of Irvine, Calif.-based Taco Bell, succeeds Mark Laramie, whose departure from Papa Murphy's was not explained.

Turner began her career with Taco Bell as a market manager in Seattle and later was promoted to oversee the chain's emerging business in Canada before she spearheaded U.S. operations in eight Western states and helped establish standards for multibrand Taco Bell locations, Papa Murphy's said.
