Ells has led Chipotle since he founded the company in 1992, while Moran was promoted to co-chief executive in 2009 after serving as president and chief operating officer. Chipotle stock has tumbled 32 percent over the past six months thanks to outbreaks of several food-borne illnesses. Whether the company can rebound will be a true test of the co-CEOs’ worth.
