Joey Wat has served as CEO of Yum China since 2018. With more than 10,000 restaurants in its portfolio, it's the largest restaurant company in China.

She first joined the company as president of KFC China in 2014 after spending the prior ten years of her career with the U.K's Watson Group.
Wat has an MBA from the Kellogg School; after graduating, she went on to work as a consultant, including spending time at McKinsey, for seven years.

Wat has said that she will sit in KFC stores for "two or three hours" to watch customers eat and get new ideas for the menu.

"I'm a mom," she told: "Nothing is more important than childcare. Not even my job."
