Devereux's wife, Merz, has been working at McDonald’s for over fifteen years now. She began her McDonald's journey as a finance manager in September 2005 and served the position until March 2012.
Following that, she was promoted to the Director of Global Financial Reporting, a position she held for over three years. With her hard work and dedication, she was then assigned a higher position as the Finance Director, US Marketing, Menu, and Initiatives. She handled the responsibilities from August 2015 to November 2017.
Later, she was awarded the role of Director of US Business Insights and Analytics. Fulfilling the duties as the analytics expert for a year, she further advanced to her current position as the Senior Director of Investor Relations in January 2019. She has been working in the position for the past two years.
With such an impressive resume in such a short span of time, you'd think that Merz had been working there all her life. But before her expansive career at McDonald's, she had a stint as an audit manager in a London based accounting company, Ernst and Young LLP, for six years.
