CHICAGO (Reuters) – Kraft Heinz Co <KHC.O> on Wednesday named Carlos Abrams-Rivera as the leader of its U.S. business in the food company’s first major executive change since August when it replaced finance chief David Knopf.
New Kraft Heinz CEO Miguel Patricio had been managing the Chicago-based company’s U.S. business since he took over in July.
