McDonald's announced Sunday that its chief executive has "separated from the Company" after demonstrating "poor judgment" in having a relationship with an employee.
It was determined by McDonald's Board of Directors that Steve Easterbrook violated company policy by engaging in the consensual relationship, the company said in a press release. McDonald's did not detail the employee's position in its statement.
Easterbrook apologized for the relationship in a message to staff.
"As for my departure, I engaged in a recent consensual relationship with an employee, which violated McDonalds policy. This was a mistake," Easterbrook said in an email sent to McDonald's employees and obtained by NBC News. "Given the values of the Company, I agree with the Board that it is time for me to move on. Beyond this, I hope you can respect my desire to maintain my privacy."
Easterbrook has been replaced with Chris Kempczinski, who served as president of McDonald's USA, to lead the company. Kempczinski was has also been elected to the McDonald's Board of Directors.
