Nestle Appoints Jeff Hamilton as New Americas CEO, Signaling a New Era for Zone AMS

New Leadership at Nestle Americas

Nestle has announced a significant leadership change, with Jeff Hamilton set to take over as Chief Executive Officer of Zone Americas starting July 1. This move comes as Steve Presley, the current CEO, prepares to retire after nearly 30 years of dedicated service to the company.

A Wealth of Experience

Hamilton, currently at the helm of Purina PetCare Zone Europe, is no stranger to the global stage. With a career that includes serving as CEO of Nestle Canada and holding various leadership positions across Asia, Africa, and the US, Hamilton's international expertise is unparalleled. Laurent Freixe, Nestle CEO, commended Hamilton's "exceptional performance" and leadership, expressing enthusiasm for the future: "We look forward to working with Jeff to drive our growth strategy in Zone AMS."

A Legacy of Leadership

Presley's departure marks the end of an era for Nestle in the Americas, one of its most vital markets. His contributions over the years have been instrumental in shaping the company's presence and success across the region. Presley will officially step down from his executive roles on April 30, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and growth.
