Kobza to Become CEO of RBI

Company veteran Joshua Kobza will become chief executive officer for Burger King parent Restaurant Brands International, effective March 1, 2023.

Current RBI CEO José Cil will remain with the company for one year as an advisor and assist in the transition, per a release. These moves are part of RBI’s ongoing succession planning process, the company said.

Kobza has held increasingly senior roles with RBI over the last 11 years, including chief financial officer (2013-2018), chief technology officer and development officer (2018-2019) and chief operating officer (2019-2023). Kobza played an integral role in RBI’s acquisitions of Tim Hortons in 2014, Popeyes in 2017 and Firehouse Subs in 2021, per a company release.
