Voskuil, who takes over from the retiring Patricia Little, joins the chocolate giant from Avanos Medical, a global medical device company, where he has served as CFO since 2014.
Elsewhere Rohit Grover, vice president and general manager of Hershey’s business in Greater China, becomes president, for all its international operations – of which China is a major part. Grover has worked in nearly all of Hershey’s international markets and, most recently, he “designed and led the turnaround of Hershey’s China business”, the company said.
He succeeds Steven Schiller, who is leaving the company.
Among other moves, Jason Reiman, previously vice president, supply chain operations has been promoted to chief supply chain officer effective 1 June.
