It is a fact that they, too, play extraordinary roles for the business,” said Merrill Pereyra, chief executive officer for the Restaurant Division of QSR Brand.
“To all women of KFC and the world out there, we would like to say that your future is always bright, equal, safe and rewarding. Keep inspiring us and impacting lives, and thank you for all your hard work and contribution to our community, family and this organisation,” he adds.
