GREG Solomon set to depart his post at McDonald SA.
Solomon, who has been with the company for 29 years, will hand over the reins to the new incumbent.
In a lengthy statement, the organisation said: ”After 29 wonderful years with McDonald’s South Africa, including 15 years as CEO of McDonald’s South Africa, and the company have mutually agreed that now is the right time for him to step down.
Over the past 15 years as CEO, he has spearheaded the addition of 230 new restaurants resulting in a total portfolio of over 400 restaurants. Under his leadership, the brand has grown significantly, becoming stronger, more resilient, and deeply rooted in our community,” according to Daniel Padiachy, Chief Marketing Officer McDonald’s South Africa.
“Greg has guided the company through both its most successful milestones and its greatest challenges.
He will still remain involved on the brand as a Board member, ensuring continuity, sharing his invaluable knowledge, and fulfilling his responsibilities as a company director.
His presence during the next six months as the CEO of Mcdonald’s South Africa will help facilitate a seamless transition for the incoming CEO, our employees, franchisees, our crew, and customers.”
At the time of publishing it was not confirmed of the new incoming CEO.
