Sudhanshu Priyadarshi, CFO, expands his role to include the position of President, International, with responsibility for Keurig Dr Pepper Canada and Grupo Penafiel, KDP's Canada and Mexico businesses, respectively.  With his 20 years of experience, much of that in CPG and retail, Priyadarshi is a strong financial and operational leader with a deep knowledge of the business. His leadership will play a pivotal role in the continued growth of KDP's International business segment.

Monique Oxender is appointed Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, having built a strong foundation and strategic vision as interim leader.
