Yum Brands' chief executive, David Gibbs, plans to retire after more than six years at the helm of the operator of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.
Yum on Monday said Gibbs, who joined the Louisville, Ky., company in 1989 and became CEO at the start of 2020, plans to depart in the first quarter of 2026.
Yum said its board has established a succession-planning committee to identify the company's next CEO, adding that Gibbs will continue leading the company throughout the search process.
