Blum is believed to have left due to strategic differences with the company’s board of directors, reported Reuters.


Burger King said it hopes to make a decision on a replacement for Blum by 1 August. Blum was the company’s ninth CEO in 15 years.


Under Blum’s reign, the fastfood company changed advertisement agencies and overhauled its menu, boosting US same-store sales.
