Debbie Stroud, Vice President of Quality, Service and Cleanliness for McDonald’s Atlanta Region, shared her 20 years of experience with students, faculty and members of the community on Tuesday in the Special Collections Room of the NGCSU Library and Technology Center.
Included in her presentation were commercials, personal reflections and free insulated coffee mugs for attendees.
Stroud’s career with McDonald’s began innocently enough. While standing in line at a collegiate job fair, she found herself in front of the representative from the Golden Arches, and offered a greeting and resume.
Today she is responsible for 780 restaurants generating $1.9 billion in sales. This, Stroud equated with “running a little Fortune 500 company right here in Atlanta.”
