Coca-Cola says bye to Wendy Clark, hello to Stuart Kronauge and Ivan Pollard
Coca-Cola, meanwhile, has parted company with its North American marketing chief Wendy Clark (who has gone to ad agency DDB Worldwide), and appointed Stuart Kronauge and Ivan Pollard as co-heads of its US marketing operations, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Separately, Henrik Steckhan (formerly president of non-carbonated beverages in North America) has been appointed president of Coca-Cola’s US operations, while chief administrative officer Alex Cummings will step down in March after 18 years with the company.
According to the WSJ, the move positions Steckhan “as the leading candidate eventually to succeed North American chief Sandy Douglas”.
