Whenever I see "President" as a corporate title, I think "over inflated sales title to make clients feel like they are being taken serious and talking to actual leadership". I've seen "presidents" reporting to "vice-presidents"!

googled it... some estimates put mcdonalds coca cola sales at over $1b usd a year

so maybe this one isnt so inflated lol

It’s layers, like an ogre. Vice presidents with multiple layers under them.

Yea, after the syrup is remixed it's estimated that McD's sells hundreds of millions of gallons of Coke products a year. It's def something you have a dedicated executive team to make sure everything is working smoothly.
