In 2015, Kempczinski joined McDonald’s as part of their corporate strategy unit. He was later elevated to president of their US operations in the next year. During his tenure in this capacity, he managed the 14,000 restaurants McDonald’s has in the United States. A major part of its function was to modernize the chain, which included mobile ordering and self-service points, which gave consumers the ability to get their orders delivered to their table. In November 2019, he succeeded Steve Easterbrook as president and CEO. While he was still working for the firm, he had only been in business for four years, and most CEOs appear to work for their firms a lot longer than that. He still had little managerial knowledge, as his other positions appeared to be a little more hands-on.
