Leadership Changes at McDonald’s SA

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, 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 with 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.
