McDonald’s Continues Shuffling Executives

McDonald’s Corp. named two more executives to its U.S. leadership team a day after the sudden resignation of President and Chief Operating Officer Mike Roberts, who had been widely seen as a possible successor to Chief Executive Jim Skinner.

Janice Fields, president of McDonald’s USA’s central division, was named chief operating officer of McDonald’s USA. James Johannesen, chief support officer of McDonald’s USA, will replace Fields as the division’s president.
