Eugene Lee, McDonald's International Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) has stepped down from his position. Lee took to LinkedIn and announced his departure from the company.
“After 15 years with McDonald’s, it’s never easy to say goodbye to a brand that has been such an integral part of my professional & personal life”, he stated in his LinkedIn post.
Remembering his journey with McDonald’s, Eugene Lee stated, “I still remember my very first campaign as a young Marketing Executive - the 2009 Coke Glasses, and the excitement of seeing customers lining up for it at the restaurants. Who would have thought this Malaysian would eventually end up leading Marketing for 80x markets across the globe, spanning Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia as International CMO. But it’s time… time to step out of my comfort zone and explore a world beyond the Golden Arches, using the skills I’ve learnt at this amazing brand to build amazing new things”.
“When I reflect on my time with the company, I realize that it’s the genuine relationships I’ve built with my teams that I’ll miss the most. So to celebrate 15-years, here are 15 of my absolute favorite photos from my career”, he added in his post.
