Steve Easterbrook Wiki

Steve Easterbrook was the former CEO of McDonald’s and McDonald’s fired CEO Steve Easterbrook after the fast-food giant’s board of directors found that he “demonstrated poor judgment” in a consensual relationship with an employee, the company announced Sunday.

“This was a mistake,” Easterbrook said of his actions in an email sent to employees. “Given the values of the company, I agree with the board that it is time for me to move on.” McDonald’s shares fell as much as 3% in pre-market trading Monday. The stock had almost doubled since Easterbrook took over in March 2015, more than twice the gain in the S&P 500 Index, giving the company a market capitalization of $147 billion.

Employment lawyer Ruby Dinsmore, of Slater and Gordon, said it is now common for firms to have either outright bans on relationships, or to have notification clauses requiring individuals to disclose them. The company has been criticized over the amount it pays shop staff, and Mr. Easterbrook faced scrutiny for his $15.9m pay packet in 2018, which included a roughly $1.3m base salary, as well as benefits and bonus.

He will be replaced by Chris Kempczinski, most recently president of McDonald’s USA, with immediate effect. In a statement, Mr. Kempczinski thanked Mr. Easterbrook for his contributions, adding: “Steve brought me into McDonald’s and he was a patient and helpful mentor.” According to BBC.com
