Kraft Heinz has announced changes to its global operating structure designed to accelerate growth, sharpen focus, and more effectively deploy resources.

Effective July 1, the company will reorganize into three regions: North America, Europe and Pacific Developed Markets, and Emerging Markets.

Marcel Regis will become regional president of Emerging Markets (combining Asia Emerging Markets and West and East Emerging Markets). Willem Brandt will continue as regional president of Europe and Pacific Developed Markets, and Nico Amaya will continue to lead North America.

The company will also combine Procurement and Supply Chain into one central function under Janelle Aydin, who will serve as global chief procurement and supply chain officer.

“We are building momentum across many areas of the business, and this regional structure will help us meaningfully accelerate and scale our progress,” said Steve Cahillane, CEO of Kraft Heinz.

“Additionally, combining Procurement and Supply Chain into one central function allows us to more effectively manage our end‑to‑end value chain and strengthen supply chain resilience.”

Cory Onell, chief omnichannel sales and Asia Emerging Markets officer, and Flavio Torres, global chief supply chain officer, will transition out of their roles. Both will remain with the company as advisors through a transition period.

“As a company, we are proving that iconic brands can evolve, scale and win,” Cahillane added. “This new structure positions Kraft Heinz to unlock the full potential of our portfolio and drive sustainable, volume‑led growth across our global business.”
