Spotlight: Denis Hennequin of McDonald's Europe - by Julia Werdiger

Denis Hennequin is a rock 'n' roll CEO. The chief of the European division of McDonald's, Hennequin is unmistakably French, from his accented English to the family home he keeps in Paris. But he also owns two Harleys, plays guitar in a band and has a fondness for classic American movies. "I'm a very French American," he said during a recent interview, seated in front of a zebra-striped wall in a McDonald's restaurant in London.

"The U.S. has an incredible wealth of culture, it's home to the best musicians. But my roots are here in Europe and France. It's the combination of the two that makes it so interesting and challenging."
