This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

| Submission declined on 19 June 2024 by Qcne (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Qcne 5 months ago. | |

[edit]Francisco "Pancho" Gonzalez, born in Tabasco (Mexico), is a leader in the food and restaurant industry, who currently serves as CEO of Lopez Dorada Foods,[1][2][3] where he oversees a diverse portfolio of brands with a customer-centric focus.
Career and education
[edit]Pancho initiated his career as a McDonald's Franchisee in 1993 in Tabasco, where he owned and operated five restaurants over eight years. His background in tourism and hospitality facilitated a seamless transition into leadership roles, including President of the Mexican Co-op.

From November 2009 to January 2013, he acted as Vice President of Operations and Franchising for the Greater Chicago Region. He was then appointed Vice President and General Manager of the Michigan Region. It was during this time that he set into motion the Michigan Vision 2020 plan to revitalize the Detroit market during the 2013 economic downturn. His leadership led to his subsequent role as Vice President and General Manager for the Houston Region up until 2018.
Before joining the Lopez Dorada team as CEO[4][5] in 2022, he worked with Dunkin' Brands in 2019 as Regional VP for the Southwest region in the US and Latin America[6]; before expanding to VP of the Americas for all six of the Inspire Brands, including Arby's, Baskin-Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dunkin', Jimmy John's and Sonic in 16 countries.
Pancho is a graduate of Seneca College in Toronto, Canada, and has pursued leadership certifications in Finance and Executive Management from the Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM). He has also completed executive education programs in Strategic Planning at the University of Chicago and Brand Mastery at the Kellogg School of Management. Additionally, he graduated from the McDonald's LAMP Program associated with Thunderbird University in Global Management.
Recognition
