“Tim and I clicked the moment we met,” Hamdi Ulukaya, the founder, owner, chairman and CEO of Chobani, said. “He’s an amazing leader with views and values I really respect and believe in.”
Brown has spent the last four years as president and CEO at Nestle’s bottled waters operations in North America. Before taking those roles, he was the president and CEO of Nestle’s business in Canada for three years.
The stint at Nestle’s Canadian arm broke a 22-year spell at Nestle’s bottled waters division in North America, which Brown joined in 1988 after three years at Procter & Gamble.
