#115 Peter Ritchie: McDonald’s Australia - From Zero to 50,000 Employees

In episode #115, I’m speaking with Peter Ritchie, who served as CEO and Chairman of McDonald’s Australia for over three decades. Peter played a pivotal role in the company’s growth across the country and into Asia.

As McDonald’s first employee outside of North America, he established the brand in Australia from the ground up, transforming it into a powerhouse with over 500 stores and 50,000 employees.

His commitment to leadership development, continuous learning, and training made McDonald’s Australia one of the best-performing regions globally. Peter also brings his expertise and passion to a variety of industries and community projects.

In this episode, he shares his journey working alongside McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc for over 14 years and reflects on why McDonald’s succeeded.

Some facts about the McDonald's brand today:

  • More than 41,000 stores are open worldwide

  • More than 2 million employees – the second largest employer after Walmart

  • Serving 70 million customers per day

  • Now open in 118 countries

  • Brand value estimated at $155 billion

  • Shareholder dividends have increased for 25 years.

This is episode #115 and Peter Ritchie!
