Nestle's New Chapter in the Americas

In a significant move, Nestle has announced that Jeff Hamilton will take over as the Chief Executive Officer of Zone Americas, starting July 1. This transition marks the retirement of Steve Presley, a veteran leader who has dedicated nearly 30 years to the company.

A Leader with a Global Vision

Hamilton, currently at the helm of Purina PetCare Zone Europe, is no stranger to Nestle's global operations. His impressive resume includes serving as CEO of Nestle Canada and holding pivotal leadership positions across Asia, Africa, and the United States. Laurent Freixe, Nestle CEO, commended Hamilton's "exceptional performance" and leadership qualities, expressing enthusiasm for the future under his guidance.

Stepping Down After a Illustrious Career

Presley's departure on April 30 closes a chapter of significant contributions to Nestle's expansion and dominance in the Americas, one of its most critical markets. His legacy is a testament to the company's enduring success in the region.
