General Mills has appointed Karen Jenkins as MD of its Australia and New Zealand operations.
Jenkins joined General Mills as marketing manager in September 2002 and became its category and customer development manager in June 2010.
She then transitioned to several roles in the company over the years, which included moving to New Zealand as MD before transferring to the UK as sales director. Jenkins returned to Australia three years ago to assume the sales director position for ANZ.
“We have an exceptional team and together, we will focus on driving further growth to keep making food the world loves,” said Jenkins.
“It’s a privilege to continue the journey with a team of remarkable and hard-working people at a workplace that was recently recognised as a Great Place to Work for the fifth consecutive year.”
General Mills’ portfolio includes Old El Paso, Haagen-Dazs, Pillsbury, Cookie Crisp, and Cheerios.
