Stephen J. Easterbrook

President and CEO, McDonald's

"McDonald's President and CEO Stephen Easterbrook speaks to the Boston College Chief Executives Club"

McDonald’s wouldn’t come to the top of people's lists as being one of the most innovative companies in the world," particularly during this time of technology-driven disruption, Stephen Easterbrook, president and chief executive officer of the McDonald’s Corporation, told the February 2 meeting of the Boston College Chief Executives Club.

Takeaway

Apple Pay

We were a launch partner for Apple Pay…I didn’t see McDonald’s being on the forefront of this type of technology. I didn’t think they could move that quickly. Externally, is it a huge business builder? It will be over time…Internally [it is] a cultural signal to ourselves about what we can do when we adopt the right attitude.

Takeaway

Home Delivery

Size and scale for us has often been an excuse for moving slowly. I’m really, really keen and energized to try and demonstrate both within our business, and certainly to customers, that we can be as nimble and as agile if we put our mind to it.

Takeaway

Affordable Care Act

[On the changes to the Affordable Care Act:] We don’t know what we’ll have to replace it with, because you still want to take care of people…We’ll try and do the right thing by people, mindful that the majority of our business is run by independent owner/operators."
