“After 29 wonderful years with McDonald’s South Africa, including 15 years as CEO of
McDonald’s South Africa, Greg Solomon and the company have mutually agreed that now is
the right time for him to step down.
Leadership changes are natural for any organisation and while Greg has built a strong
foundation that has been established, now is the time to welcome new leadership.
Greg has guided the company through both its most successful milestones and its greatest
challenges. 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.
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.”
