Mondelēz appoints Filippo Catalano as chief information and digital officer


Mondelēz International has announced the appointment of Filippo Catalano as its new chief information and digital officer, effective later this year.


Catalano will report directly to chairman and CEO Dirk Van de Put and will be tasked with leading the company's global technology transformation efforts to foster sustainable growth.


In a statement, Van de Put expressed enthusiasm about Catalano's arrival, highlighting his extensive experience in digital transformation within the consumer packaged goods sector.


"Filippo’s track record in driving digital transformation in leading consumer packaged goods companies will provide strong leadership to step-change the digital evolution of our business," he noted.


Catalano joins Mondelēz from Reckitt, where he served as chief information and digital officer and oversaw significant growth initiatives through technological advancements.


His leadership at Reckitt included re-platforming the company's technology stack to enhance omnichannel operations and implementing artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced analytics solutions.


Before his tenure at Reckitt, Catalano was senior vice president and global chief information officer at Nestlé, where he led comprehensive transformations of technology platforms and data analytics.


His career includes over 15 years at Procter & Gamble, where he played a pivotal role in the digital transformation of key brands across various markets. Additionally, he serves as a non-executive director at Farmer Connect, a technology firm focused on traceability and sustainability in agriculture.


"I am very excited to join Mondelēz International and help the company drive industry-leading technology solutions that grow competitive advantage while helping better connect customers and consumers with the snacking brands they love," Catalano said.


Catalano holds a master’s degree in mechanical and energy engineering from Politecnico di Torino. His appointment comes at a critical time for Mondelēz, which reported net revenues of approx. $36 billion in 2023 and continues to expand its portfolio of iconic brands, including Oreo, Cadbury and Clif Bar.
