You Won’t Believe How Old The Burger King CEO Is

Burger King's current executive team isn't your average S&P 500 company's, as the CEO, CFO and head of investor relations aren't fitting the average age-group of similar companies.

You’d expect the CEO of a giant food chain like Burger King to be in his late 50s or 60s, but Daniel Schwartz is running the company and he hasn’t even hit 35 yet.

And Schwartz isn’t the only youngster running the show over in Burger King land, as Chief Financial Officer Joshua Kobza is only 28,  Sami Siddiqui, Burger King’s head of investor relations, is just 29.

It’s a pretty interesting age range in the company, especially that of Schwartz’s, as the average age of CEOs in the S&P 500 is 57.
