RBI boasts ownership of four globally recognized quick-service restaurant brands: Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs. With Siddiqui assuming the role of CFO, RBI aims to strengthen its financial footing and pursue strategic growth initiatives across its diverse portfolio of brands.
