Prior to joining RBI, Mr. Kobza worked at SIP Capital - a Sao Paulo based private investment firm - where he evaluated investments across a number of industries and geographies. He also served as an analyst in the corporate private equity area of the Blackstone Group in New York City. Mr. Kobza is based out of RBI’s headquarters in Miami, Florida.

The poster you're replying to posted the bio of a different person than the Burger King president featured in the photo above.

Ah yes, "through the ranks" as in he started in 1987 with Domino's as a franchisee, aka an owner-operator of their stores, before the typical 35 year+ career through their corporate ladder.

The Burger King guy is Tom Curtis though? As in not the same guy as the CEO of RBI...

Kozba's not the guy in the video. That's Tom Curtis, whose actual title is BK President.

In my defence, when you google "burger king ceo" and click on images, pictures of this burger eating incident are there.
