Burger King owner Restaurant Brands International Inc is creating a new C-suite role focused on technology, aiming to keep pace with fast-food rivals as they embrace mobile ordering and other digital services. 

Josh Kobza, who has spent the past five years as chief financial officer, is becoming chief technology and development officer, the company said. Kobza, 31, will oversee digital initiatives at the company’s three restaurant chains, which include Tim Hortons and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.
