McDonald's International Chief Marketing Officer will step down from his role March 31, according to a Campaign report.

Lee served a 15-year tenure with the brand and posted his exit in a LinkedIn post. He said his first campaign was the 2009 Coca-Cola glasses promotion.

"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!" he wrote in his post.

In a Q&A with Campaign, Lee said he is taking time off to reconnect with friends and family and will explore his options for his next career move.
