The Ledger / Steve Lavin
Steve Lavin
◼ Origin
Steve Lavin (Steve H. Lavin) is the son of Sheldon Lavin, who built OSI Group from a small Chicago meat distributor into the primary burger and protein supplier for McDonald's globally. Steve became chairman following Sheldon Lavin's death in 2023, inheriting controlling family stakes in a company generating approximately $7.9 billion in annual revenue as the world's dominant food processing conglomerate behind the McDonald's supply chain.
◼ Self-Made Verdict — INHERITED
Stepped into chairmanship of OSI Group upon his father Sheldon Lavin's death in 2023; the company and its ~$7.9B revenue base were built by Sheldon. No documented history of independently building a business enterprise.
