KFC Canada’s marketing chief has spent a decade turning heritage into a working asset - balancing the Colonel, the bucket and 11 herbs and spices with digital ordering, cultural timing and a sharper appetite for change.

From a bank teller's desk in El Salvador to the marketing chair at KFC's 40-country Latin American business, on a passport full of stamps and a habit of applying for jobs she wasn't ready for.
It started as a burger stand under the Santa Barbara sun in 1969. Fifty-five years and one ampersand later, Habit Burger & Grill is Yum! Brands' bet that a chargrilled patty can scale without losing the char.
Yum! Brands built a $68.3 billion restaurant system by owning the playbook, not most of the kitchens. Now, as Pizza Hut heads for new owners, the fast-food parent is betting that franchises, data and one shared tech stack can make chicken, tacos and burgers travel farther.
