Kraft Heinz names Pedro Navio EVP & President, North America

As part of its mission to accelerate profitable growth and to lead the future of food, the Company has named its new President of the North America Zone, elevated key roles to a global level, and restructured its International Zone. These changes preserve the Company’s local agility while leveraging support, expertise, and resources from its scale. First, Pedro Navio has been named EVP & President, North America, and will succeed Carlos Abrams-Rivera who, as previously announced, will serve as the Kraft Heinz CEO. Navio has been with Kraft Heinz since 2017, and is currently President, Taste, Meals, and Away From Home, in North America. Prior to Kraft Heinz, Navio spent more than 15 years at Red Bull, most recently as CEO of Latin America. Second, the Company is establishing global leadership teams for its Growth and Omnichannel functions. Investing in these disciplines on a global level provides the structure and support to leverage centralized expertise and resources. It also helps drive growth and disruptive innovation across the business while optimally servicing customers and consumers. Lastly, to further drive international growth, the Company is dividing its international business into three zones. Recognizing these markets require different sets of strategies and skills, the new structure provides the necessary focus and resources to optimize growth potential.
