“I love the culture and not only believe in the promise that I can build my own career, I’m living proof that it’s true. I was recently promoted to Director of Finance for KFC. This was a great success for me because I expressed an interest in expanding my knowledge by moving from Yum! to a brand role and my team helped make it happen. KFC has such a rich history – and fantastic chicken – that I’m thrilled to be a part of growing the brand around the world.”
