Kraft Foods Group, Inc.
today announced that it has named James Kehoe Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer. He will report directly to Chairman
and CEO John T. Cahill and will lead all of Kraft's finance operations.
Mr. Kehoe has extensive financial experience and previously spent more than
two decades with Kraft in roles across numerous businesses and corporate
functions. He rejoins the company from Gildan Activewear Inc., a leading
supplier of branded basic family apparel in Canada, where he most recently
served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Administrative
Officer. Prior to that, he was Senior Vice President of Operating Excellence
at Mondelez International, Inc., where he led the company's global
transformation program through improving execution across the business as
well as cost savings initiatives.
"I am pleased to welcome James back to Kraft as CFO," said Mr. Cahill.
"James knows the company inside and out and, throughout his career, has
demonstrated strong financial acumen and execution capabilities. I have
tremendous confidence in his ability to lead our finance team and take Kraft
to a new level as we look to accelerate our pace of change."
"Kraft is the company where I've built my career, and I'm excited to rejoin
at such a critical time and partner again with many of the talented
colleagues I know so well," commented Mr. Kehoe. "I look forward to working
with John, our finance team and the rest of management to drive Kraft's
strategy and performance as we focus on sustainable, profitable growth."
During his time with Kraft, Mr. Kehoe held a variety of senior-level finance
positions and played a key role in the company's operations, business model
development and cost-reduction initiatives. Mr. Kehoe's most recent role at
Kraft was as Senior Vice President, Corporate Finance, leading multiple
functions, including treasury, tax, accounting, external financial
reporting, enterprise risk management and corporate planning and analysis.
Mr. Kehoe succeeds Teri List-Stoll, whom the company announced last week
would step down from her role as of Feb. 28, 2015. Ms. List-Stoll will work
closely with Mr. Kehoe to ensure a smooth transition.
