Get to know Abiman Rajadurai, an esteemed member of McDonald’s Legal Department and Vice Chair of McDonald’s Asia Pacific Middle East Network (APMEN).
Abiman joined McDonald’s in 2017 believing its size would enable him to effect major change. Now, he considers himself “truly blessed” for the opportunity to work cross-functionally with people throughout the McDonald’s system on a daily basis.
“I love how we all work together to make the customer experience the best it can be,” he says.
The Journey to a Job at McDonald’s
Abiman was born in India and emigrated with his family to the United States at age 2. As a kid, his family moved around the Midwest a few times before settling in Michigan. “I think moving so much made me much more social and adaptable to change,” Abiman explains.
As it happens, Abiman was a big fan of legal television dramas growing up. “I wanted to be a lawyer back when I was 5 or 6 years old,” he laughs. After college – where he met his now wife – Abiman did end up enrolling in law school, where he discovered his passion for employment law during a summer internship.
“I enjoyed how much employment law touches on peoples’ issues, and how you can see the impact of your work right away,” he says.
In 2014, Abiman interviewed for a role on his current team but didn’t get the job. He enjoyed the process and hoped he would have another opportunity down the road. In 2017, Abiman unexpectedly received an email from Rafael Medina, an attorney who had met him during the 2014 process, asking if he was still interested in joining McDonald’s global labor and employment team. The answer was an unequivocal “yes.”
Since joining McDonald’s, Abiman has ascended to the role of General Counsel for McDonald’s Operating Company (McOpCo) – the company-owned restaurants in the United States. Every day, his north star is helping ensure McDonald’s guests receive a fabulous customer experience when they interact with our restaurants.
“In order to give customers the best experience, we have to give employees the best experience,” he says. “After all, they’re the touch point for McDonald’s billions served.”
Making a Difference Beyond McDonald’s
Abiman’s passions extend beyond his legal work impacting McDonald’s business. During his first year at McDonald’s, Abiman joined McDonald’s Asia Pacific Middle East Network (APMEN). By 2019, he’d been named Co-Chair for the McDonald’s Headquarters (MHQ) chapter, and in December 2022, he was appointed Vice Chair for the global APMEN network.
“I take my role with APMEN very seriously,” Abiman says. “I know I and our members find support and inspiration in the network, and it’s important to me that everyone feels included.”
Abiman is also active on the legal department’s Pro Bono Committee as well as its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, and sits on the boards of local nonprofits. “I’m passionate about giving people chances and opportunities that they might otherwise not get,” he says.
One thing he loves and appreciates is that, “everyone has a McDonald’s story.”
“I vividly remember being so excited to get my Chicken McNuggets growing up,” he says. “It’s so cool to be here 30+ years later and create those same moments and opportunities for other people around the world.”

Hispanic inclusion rates on Fortune 500 boards increased imperceptibly in the past two years, according to the 7th edition Missing Pieces report: A board diversity census of women and underrepresented racial and ethnic groups on Fortune 500 boards. The report was released today by the Alliance for Board Diversity (ABD). The Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility is one of four leadership organizations that comprise the ABD. The other three are Catalyst, The Executive Leadership Council, and Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics. Diversified Search serves as an advisor. These groups share the goal of advancing the inclusion of women and underrepresented racial and ethnic groups on corporate boards. In collaboration with Deloitte, the ABD conducts bi-annual research to assess the status of board diversity.
Hispanic board representation has remained relatively flat since 2004. By 2060, the Hispanic population will be almost 30% of the nation’s population, yet fewer than five percent of corporate board positions are held by Hispanics.
“There’s enormous potential for Corporate America to diminish the gap between Hispanic representation and population size,” said Cid Wilson, President & CEO of HACR. “This lack of representation is a missed opportunity for companies to drive greater innovation and business growth for an influential global economic force, as we are the fifth largest economy in the world.”
The report is the culmination of research into board participation on Fortune 500 boards in 2022. The members of the ABD have collaborated on this bi-annual research since 2004. In addition to statistics on Hispanic inclusion, the report includes data on racial and ethnic groups by gender and looks at overall female inclusion on corporate boards. It also takes a deep dive into participation and leadership on board committees. Here are some high-level statistics on Latino participation specifically.
In 2021, Hispanic buying power was 1.9 trillion, up 87 percent since 2010.In 2022, Hispanics made up 18.4 percent of the population, but only 4.7 percent of Fortune 500 board seats.The rate of Hispanic inclusion on Fortune 100 boards was only slightly higher than the Fortune 500 inclusion rate at 4.9 percent. This was consistent with an overall higher inclusion rate for underrepresented racial and ethnic groups and all women on Fortune 100 companies compared to all companies listed in the Fortune 500.In 2022, Latinas represented 1.2 percent of Fortune 500 seats, up from 1.0 percent in 2020.
“HACR will continue to urge companies to make greater progress on Hispanic board representation and Hispanic inclusion overall in Corporate America,” concluded Wilson.
