McDonald’s is seeking a new global chief marketing officer following today’s announcement that Mary Dillon is leaving the fast-food titan for the CEO slot at U.S. Cellular.
She’ll face a turnaround job at the regional carrier, which — along with appointing Dillon president and chief executive today — saw its first-quarter profit fall 43 percent to $48.23 million on $965 million in service revenue, down a few percentage points compared to a year ago.
Dillon’s appointment is effective June 1; she replaces Jack Rooney, who is retiring.
Dillon joined McDonald’s five years ago after a stint as president of PepsiCo’s Quaker Oats.
