- Following a "deliberate leadership transition plan," CEO Chris Kempczinski praised Anderson as a "proven change agent" who can "act with urgency to mobilize our System" overseeing nearly 14,000 restaurants.
- To ensure a seamless leadership transition, Erlinger will serve as an advisor until early 2027, while Anderson begins implementing the McDonald's > NEXT strategy focused on menu innovation and restaurant experience improvements.
- Anderson assumes leadership during a challenging domestic market period, as U.S. same-store sales grew just 0.8% last quarter and traffic to domestic restaurants fell amid efforts to attract cost-conscious diners.
