Jerome Tafani

Jérôme Tafani (born 22 April 1958) is a French financier and CEO of Burger King Restauration, a group managing Burger King restaurants in France.

Education Tafani received an MBA from ESSEC Business School in 1980.

Career In 1981-88, Tafani started working as an auditor for Deloitte France. In 1988, he switched to become financial controller at Econocom Group. In 1992, he began working at Randstad in their financial section. Initially, Tafani planned to gradually transform all Quick restaurants in France to become Burger Kings. This project was abandoned in 2019, and Groupe Bertrand sold Quick to H.I.G. Capital in 2021.

Under Tafani's leadership, France became Burger King's second most important market in the world, behind the United States. As Burger King expanded its menu to include soy-based vegetarian products, Tafani assures that those sold in France do not contain GMOs.

As of 2022, Tafani has a leadership position in 13 companies, including financial and holding firms.
