Heinz has announced a leadership “realignment” that, it said, is part of the company’s “ongoing development process” to “broaden the capabilities and skills” of its executive leadership team.
The management changes, effective 15 July, include a switch in responsibilities of the executives currently in charge of the company’s North American and European businesses.
Dave Moran will become EVP, president and CEO of Heinz Europe after serving for the last six years as EVP, president and CEO of Heinz North America. Meanwhile former European boss Scott O’Hara will take up the reigns as EVP, president and CEO of Heinz North America.
The heads of Heinz’ other business units will remain in place – Chris Warmoth will continue in his current role of EVP, Asia/Pacific, which recently expanded to include Australia and New Zealand; Mike Milone will continue as SVP, rest of world, global infant nutrition & enterprise risk management; and Art Winkleblack will continue as EVP and CFO.
“Heinz has an exceptionally strong and deep executive leadership team, as these five executives have demonstrated in leading the company to a year of record sales and profit in fiscal 2009,” said chairman, president and CEO Bill Johnson.
