Kraft Heinz has named Jerome Drolet as president of its regional operations covering Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Korea.
The FMCG giant shared that Drolet has extensive experience in the food and beverage sector, recently as the area VP of Omni at Walmart & Sam’s Club in the US.
Before that, he held various roles with other industry-leading organisations such as Keurig Dr Pepper, Procter & Gamble, and Coca-Cola. His past focus includes designing and building high-performing teams and strategies.
Kraft Heinz added that Drolet would bring a “wealth of knowledge” to the business.
He will relocate to Melbourne, Australia, with his wife and daughter in the coming months.
Former ANJ president Simon Laroche, who has been in the position for the last five years, is moving to a new role in the Kraft Heinz North America business.
