USA | McDonald's Corporation has announced that Skye Anderson, an executive with more than 26 years of experience at McDonald's, has been appointed President of McDonald's USA.
Her appointment reflected the Company's focus on improving the everyday restaurant experience, strengthening value offerings for customers, and driving long-term, profitable growth across the U.S. business.
In this role, Anderson will oversee nearly 14,000 restaurants across the United States and lead the Company's largest market as the organisation advances McDonald's > NEXT, its strategy to be customers' first choice while unlocking growth and productivity across the System.
Anderson has succeeded Joe Erlinger, who has decided to leave the Company after more than two decades with McDonald's, including almost seven years leading the U.S. business.
Her appointment followed a deliberate leadership transition plan initiated earlier this year with her return to McDonald's USA as Chief Operating Officer, to help ensure continuity and prepare her to lead the Company's largest market.
"McDonald's has always been at its best when we harness the strength of our unique System to serve customers and communities. I am honoured to lead the U.S. business and build on the strong foundation already in place,” said Anderson.
"Together with our Owner/Operators, suppliers and employees, we'll remain focused on serving great food, delivering exceptional experiences, earning the right to be our customers' first choice and bringing McDonald's > NEXT to life across our restaurants every day."
Erlinger will work closely with Anderson to ensure a seamless leadership transition and serve as an advisor until early 2027.
