Incoming CEO Carlos Abrams-Rivera Announces
Five New Members to Kraft Heinz Executive Leadership Team, All
Internal Elevations, To Partner with Him in New Roles Beginning in
Fiscal Year 2024
Today, The Kraft Heinz Company (Nasdaq: KHC)
(the “Company” or “Kraft Heinz”) announced new members of its
Executive Leadership Team that will partner with Carlos
Abrams-Rivera when he assumes the Chief Executive Officer role
beginning in the 2024 fiscal year.
“Over the past four years under Miguel’s leadership, we’ve made
great progress and now have a solid foundation to build our
future,” said Carlos Abrams-Rivera, President of Kraft Heinz and
incoming CEO. “Our strategic plan maps our ‘jobs to be done’ in
each of our ‘must-win’ markets and defines the areas where we
believe we need to focus to accelerate our growth. Our updated
structure is designed to help us activate that strategy – with a
focus on profitable growth and a dynamic omnichannel plan.”
As previously announced, Pedro Navio will be elevated to
President, North America. Navio has been with Kraft Heinz since
2017, most recently in the role of President of Taste, Meals, and
Away from Home in North America. In his current role, he reframed
the Taste Elevation platform by repositioning Heinz and delivering
a new product pipeline beyond ketchup. He also supported the
transformation of the Away from Home business by reconnecting the
Company’s brands with customers, moving from a sales channel only
into a marketing powerhouse that brings innovation to partners and
consumers. Prior to Kraft Heinz, he spent more than 15 years at Red
Bull.
Willem Brandt will be elevated to the role of President,
Europe and Pacific Developed Markets. Brandt has been at Kraft
Heinz since 2021 in the role of Continental Europe President.
During that time, he has significantly improved the Company’s
top-line business in the region and reinvested in marketing and
sales – helping the Company win in Taste Elevation, Germany, and
high-growth channels. Brandt spent more than 20 years at Unilever
before joining Kraft Heinz.
Bruno Keller will be elevated to the role of President, West
and East Emerging Markets. Keller has been with Kraft Heinz
since 2014 and has held several roles, including Managing Director
for South Europe, President, Canada, and most recently, President,
Latin America, where he has driven significant top-line growth,
accelerated profitability and sales, and increased market share
across all Latin America countries. He also championed the
introduction of Agile Methodology across the business unit,
accelerating the innovation agenda and implementing The Kitchen –
an in-house marketing agency – in every LATAM market, enhancing the
brand building capabilities in the region.
Cory Onell will be elevated to Chief Omnichannel Sales &
Asia Emerging Markets Officer. Onell will lead global
omnichannel sales and go-to-market capabilities and tools to unlock
growth across developed and emerging markets. Because of the
uniqueness of Asia, specifically with its Go-To-Market Model, Asia
Emerging Markets will be a standalone zone led by the Omnichannel
Officer. Onell has been with Kraft Heinz since 2020 in the role of
President of U.S. Sales. In that role, he has embedded an
omnichannel mindset and structure and strengthened our sales
capabilities in the North America Zone. Prior to Kraft Heinz, Onell
held various sales leadership roles at other consumer packaged
goods companies, including Campbell’s and Mondelēz.
Diana Frost will be elevated to Chief Growth Officer.
Frost will be responsible for accelerating growth globally through
the Company’s long-term plan, building brands through marketing
excellence, and transforming the product portfolio through
disruptive innovation. Frost has been with Kraft Heinz since 2020,
most recently as Chief Growth Officer for North America, where she
established cross-functional marketing capabilities and measurement
and built an accelerated agile pipeline of brand innovation. Frost
also drove a global culture of collaboration and creativity,
resulting in 21 Cannes Lions Awards in 2023. Prior to Kraft Heinz,
Frost spent nearly 13 years at Mars.
“I am incredibly proud these are internal elevations as it
reflects the quality of the talent and focus on people development
at Kraft Heinz,” said Abrams-Rivera. “I’m thrilled to welcome
Pedro, Willem, Bruno, Cory and Diana in their new roles, and I am
confident these are the leaders to help take Kraft Heinz to the
next level and power our growth as we set our course to lead the
future of food.”
Each of the new members of the Executive Leadership Team will
assume their roles at the beginning of fiscal year 2024.
