Mondelēz Appoints New North American President

Mondelēz International announced that Glen Walter will join the company next month and become executive vice president and president, North America.

He will be responsible for leading the company’s USD7bn business in the United States and Canada, which includes brands such as Oreo and belVita biscuits; Triscuit and Good Thins crackers, Trident gum and Halls cough drops.

Walter joins Mondelēz International from the Coca-Cola Company, where he has held a variety of leadership positions over the past decade.

“I’m thrilled to join Mondelēz International and begin working with the leadership team to grow the North American business on both the top and bottom lines,” Walter said. “I look forward to collaborating with my new colleagues to shape the future for our unparalleled portfolio of iconic brands.”

Walter succeeds Tim Cofer, who stepped into the North American leadership role on an interim basis in April. Cofer will now return full time to his responsibilities as chief growth officer.
