The Hershey Company has appointed Dave Hulays as chief financial officer, succeeding Steve Voskuil.

Hulays most recently served as senior vice president of finance and brings almost 30 years of financial leadership experience across Hershey and Procter & Gamble (P&G).

He joined Hershey in 2012 as vice president of finance for Canada and has since held a range of senior finance roles spanning the company’s US and international operations, global supply chain, M&A, corporate financial planning and analysis, tax and treasury, finance strategy and enterprise transformation.

Prior to joining Hershey, Hulays spent 15 years at P&G, holding positions across commercial finance, supply chain, strategy, global business development and global business services in North America and international markets.

Voskuil, who has led Hershey’s finance organisation for the past seven years, plans to retire in early 2027. He will move into the role of senior vice president of strategic projects, supporting initiatives for Hershey CEO Kirk Tanner and the company’s board while assisting with the leadership transition.

Tanner said: “Dave is a proven, enterprise-minded finance leader who has helped shape nearly every corner of this business, from our commercial and supply chain organisations to our growth agenda. He leads with rigor, accountability and courage. I'm confident he's the right person to lead our finance organisation into its next chapter."

"I also want to thank Steve for his leadership over the past seven years. He has been an incredible partner to me and to this company, and his continued partnership will support some of our most important priorities as we move through this transition."

Hulays added: “I'm proud and honoured to serve as Hershey's next CFO. Working alongside Steve over the years has been a privilege, and his mentorship has played an important role in preparing for this transition. Together, we've built a strong foundation, and I'm looking forward to driving our next generation of growth."
