Career[edit | edit source]
Easterbrook began his career at Price Waterhouse, where he trained as an accountant. He joined McDonald's in 1993 as a Financial Reporting Manager in London. Over the years, he held numerous leadership positions within the company, including CEO of McDonald's UK, and President of McDonald's Europe.
In 2011, Easterbrook left McDonald's to become CEO of PizzaExpress, and later, CEO of Wagamama, both UK-based restaurant chains. However, he returned to McDonald's in 2013, and in 2015, he was appointed CEO of McDonald's Corporation, succeeding Don Thompson.
