Hershey has appointed PepsiCo executive Heather Hoytink as president of its US business, effective 8 July. Hoytink was most recently senior vice president and chief commercial officer for PepsiCo's US out-of-home beverages division. She succeeds Andrew Archambault, who left in May to join Nutrabolt as president and COO. Hershey president and CEO Kirk Tanner, himself a former PepsiCo executive, said Hoytink has the operating discipline and growth track record to accelerate the US business. In her new role, Hoytink will promote a 'one Hershey commercial model' across retail, foodservice, and emerging channels.
