Bob Stewart, McDonald's SVP and chief supply chain officer for North America, will retire on October 1, 2024, after a 30-year career with the company. Cesar Piña, currently serving as corporate VP of global strategic sourcing for food, will succeed Stewart, according to a press release.

Cesar has made significant contributions across his 10-year McDonald's career to drive meaningful change to our global supply chain and the System at large, and there is no doubt that he is the right leader to carry forward McDonald's priorities," Marion Gross, EVP global chief supply chain officer, said in the press release. "His extensive industry experience in driving business results matched with his strong learning aptitude and passion for advancing a culture of collaboration makes him uniquely suited to shepherd the North America Supply Chain team into the future."

Piña, who has been with McDonald's for 10 years, will assume the role of SVP and chief supply chain officer for North America this fall.

In his new role, Piña will focus on building upon McDonald's momentum in partnering with its network of owner/operators, employees and suppliers to further strengthen supply chain resiliency and connect customers with the food they love and trust.
