Mann will take up the position on 1 January 2023, while Rivera will step down on 31 December 2022. Rivera will remain with the company as a senior advisor through March 2023.
Mann, who joined Coca-Cola in 1997, currently serves as corporate senior vice president and president of Global Ventures – an operating segment that was set up by Coca-Cola to house the acquisition of Costa, as well as other brands, including Monster beverages, Innocent and Dogadan tea. A new leader for Global Ventures will be announced at a later date.
Rivera has served as president of the North American operating unit since August 2020.
Alfredo Rivera
James Quincey, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, said: “Alfredo has been a highly valued business partner for me and countless others across our system for nearly four decades. I thank Alfredo for his service and wish him all the best.”
He added: “Jennifer has emerged as a strong business leader during her 25-year career with the company. Her background in operations across the US and globally makes her a great fit to lead the company’s largest operating unit.”
