Personnel Moves

Mishra, previously chief strategy officer, will oversee the United States, Canada and Latin America businesses, marking a new regional structure for the company.

With close to 30 years of experience supporting the business needs of retailers and CPG brands, the newly appointed executive will lead the company’s product management and marketing organizations.

The newly appointed CEO will have oversight of both the Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian West beauty businesses for Coty, with plans for an omnichannel approach, and DTC platform.

The new marketing lead has more than two decades of CG marketing and product innovation experience, most recently in the role of general manager, marketing, for Reckitt.

While some CGs retreated in the face of their new, complicated realities, other innovative leaders welcomed the challenge, fast-tracking technology implementations while not worrying about failing fast. Read about these execs here in CGT's 2021 Visionaries feature.

Conagra, which last month tapped Coca-Cola’s ranks for its new chief strategy officer, has now turned to a Unilever exec for its new executive VP and chief supply chain officer.

Michel Doukeris will take the helm as CEO of Anheuser-Busch InBev July 1, succeeding Carlos Brito.

Mars Inc. boosted its Pet Nutrition North America leadership team with the addition of two new digital hires, a pair of notable additions as the pet category experiences record growth.  

Kimberly-Clark continues to make changes to its leadership structure.

Karen Smith has been named executive VP of supply chain at Kontoor Brands, succeeding the retiring Randy Fortenberry.

The inclusion of the CIO role reflects the rapidly changing technology and digital transformation impact on the business according to CEO Lawson Whiting.

A skilled government affairs and communications strategist, the exec has extensive legal and policy experience and has provided analysis of complex federal issues for committees and members of Congress.
