Guy Russo

Guy retired as the Managing Director of Target and Kmart Australia in 2018 after 10 years with the retailer. He is credited with turning the ailing fortunes of Kmart Australia, increasing earnings five-fold during his tenure there.

Guy began his career with the McDonald’s corporation in 1974, working his way through operations from the ground up. He eventually became CEO of McDonald’s Australia and later President of the Greater China Region before leaving in 2007 to run his own consulting firm in Asia advising public and private ventures with interests in China and beyond.

Guy is currently Chairman of the Board of Guzman y Gomez premium fast-casual Mexican restaurants and is President of OneSky, a global non-profit organization for orphaned and at-risk children. With his blend of excellence in business and passion for the marginalized and underprivileged, Guy is a kindred spirit for Genashtim and what we stand for.
