During his tenure, he successfully led many of the company's key global initiatives, including: an aggressive international growth plan with new master franchise partnerships in China, Russia and Brazil; the North America image transformation program; and the company's return to the New York Stock Exchange in June 2012.

Before joining BKW, as a Partner at 3G Capital, Mr. Schwartz was responsible for sourcing, analyzing and executing the global investment firm's acquisition of BKW.

"I am confident that our management team has well-positioned the BURGER KING brand for long-term profitable growth," said Daniel Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer.   "This transition has been seamless as we successfully executed our long-term succession plan.
