List-Stoll will leave the business on 28 February and the finance function will report to Cahill until a replacement is announced. “I thank Teri for her efforts overseeing Kraft’s financial operations and strong financial team, which are instrumental to the company’s success.”

Kraft also announced chief marketing officer Deanie Elsner will leave on the same date. Jane Hilk, president of Kraft’s enhancers and snack nuts, has been appointed interim CMO. “A senior marketing executive will be named in due course to continue developing and enhancing Kraft’s marketing capabilities and will report to Mr. Zoghbi,” Kraft said.

The company appointed Cahill, already its chairman, to the position of CEO in December.
