Aug. 4 (UPI) -- McDonald's on Tuesday named a company veteran to lead the burger chain's largest market.
Skye Anderson, who has been with the company for 26 years, will oversee nearly 14,000 restaurants as president of McDonald's USA. She had previously been chief operating officer of the company's U.S. business.
Chris Kempczinski, chairman and CEO of McDonald's Corporation, said Anderson combines "deep operational discipline with strong financial judgement."
"I've had the opportunity to work closely with Skye throughout much of her career, and I've repeatedly turned to her to lead some of our most important businesses and transformation efforts because she's a proven change agent who can act with urgency to mobilize our System," Kempczinski said in a statement.
