Joshua Kobza, who will assume the CEO reins at Burger King-parent Restaurant Brands International Inc. on Wednesday, expects to give each of the company’s five divisional leaders more autonomy to run their businesses, he said in a conversation this week. Kobza and Patrick Doyle, the former Domino’s Pizza CEO who was named chairman of Toronto-based RBI in November, conducted a conversation with stock analysts on Wednesday, outlining their expectations and where they saw opportunities for the parent of Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Firehouse Subs.
