He is to join the business on September 1 as chief executive designate and will succeed Alan Parker, who is retiring on November 25.
Whitbread chairman Anthony Habgood said: “We are delighted with this appointment. We conducted a thorough international search and selection process and had a number of high quality candidates.
“Andy has 14 years proven experience as a successful leader of two significant consumer facing public companies.
“Most recently at EasyJet, he has successfully led and profitably internationalised a leading value for money brand in the highly competitive airline market.
“Whitbread has substantial opportunities for further growth, both in the UK and through developing our international presence.
