Burger King's Second in Command Resigns After One Year on the Job. The New York Times (registration required) reports that Bob Nilsen, Burger King's president for the last year, has tendered his resignation. Brad Blum, the company's CEO and the man who hired Nilsen in January 2003, announced Nilsen's resignation yesterday but did not elaborate on the reasons for his departure. The burger giant, however, continues to struggle to increase its sales; Burger King's sales showed a chain-wide decline of 2% for the fiscal year ending in June. The company recently fired its advertising agency.
