Kraft Heinz has appointed former Kellanova leader Nicolas Amaya as president of its North American business unit, replacing Pedro Navio. This move comes as new CEO Steve Cahillane, also from Kellanova, aims to revitalize the company after pausing an intended corporate breakup. Amaya will be crucial in implementing Cahillane’s strategy to invest in marketing and product superiority to drive growth and improve the company’s declining net sales.
