Most recently, Patrick served as SVP, Chief Restaurant Officer for McDonald's UK & Ireland. From his early days as a crew member in Switzerland to leadership roles across McDonald's Canada as Senior Director of National Operations and later Field Vice President, East, he has led at nearly every level over a career spanning more than 25 years. His experience in the System makes him uniquely suited to lead our Operations function at a critical time: he knows first-hand how restaurants run and what it takes to get it right for restaurant teams and customers alike.
Just as important as his experience is how Patrick shows up as a leader. He pairs sound operational judgment with a genuine passion for people, operations, and restaurant performance. He is deeply committed to developing future leaders - a hallmark of every role he has held - creating opportunities for people to grow, stretch, and make a lasting impact.
