70 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine BUSINESS SERVICES, CONSULTING AND HUMAN RESOURCES Tim Andersen devoted much of his career to the McDonald’s Corporation, beginning in 1979. From 2014 until his retirement in 2023, he served as the vice president of United States operations for the McDonald’s Corporation, working to ensure the brand’s continued success. At McDonald’s, Mr. Andersen was known for revolutionizing the quarter pounder’s assembly across the entire U.S. production system. He replaced the previously frozen hamburger patty with a fresh ground beef patty that is prepared upon the customer’s order, maximizing freshness and flavor. This innovation took three years to accomplish and has been instrumental in improving the quality of the chain’s burgers. Upon the complete overhaul of the burger approach, McDonald’s introduced the claim of “fresh, never frozen.” In addition, he spearheaded the all-day breakfast initiative, which has transformed the brand’s image and customer experience. Mr. Andersen attributes his success to his upbringing in South Dakota, his integrity and his trustworthiness. He is grateful for the cultural development and awareness he gained through participation in Up with People, a nonprofit performance organization that promotes cultural awareness and develops young adults into critical thinkers who value inclusivity. He began working with the nonprofit in 1981 and currently serves as the chairman of the board. Looking to the future, Mr. Andersen plans to focus his efforts on Up with People, aiming to increase the board’s overall success over the next five to 10 years. Although the organization is nearly 60 years old, it is still recovering after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Mr. Andersen intends to help it regain its foothold in society and rise to new heights. Now that he is retired, he is looking forward to continuing his travels and exploring new places. To better support his community, he is looking for additional nonprofit work in Las Vegas, focusing on LGBTQ+ initiatives, Meals on Wheels or an organization that benefits the aging population.
