Coca-Cola ( (KO) ) has provided an announcement.
On January 14, 2026, The Coca-Cola Company announced a major reshaping of its operational leadership to strengthen consumer focus and accelerate digital transformation, effective March 31, 2026. The company is creating a new Chief Digital Officer role, appointing Sedef Salingan Sahin to lead end-to-end digitalization and data integration across the enterprise, while digital strategy responsibilities shift from President and CFO John Murphy to Sahin. Customer and Commercial Leadership duties will move from Murphy to Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Manolo Arroyo, who will become Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing and Customer Commercial Officer, while Murphy remains President and CFO overseeing core corporate functions. Concurrently, Coca-Cola is reorganizing market groupings in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, with Sanket Ray assuming responsibility for India, Southwest Asia and other emerging large markets, and Claudia Lorenzo taking charge of Eurasia, the Middle East, ASEAN, South Pacific and Africa as president of the Eurasia and Middle East operating unit and Emerging Multi-Markets Lead. These moves, alongside the previously announced elevation of Henrique Braun to CEO on March 31, 2026 and the appointment of Robin Halpern as his incoming chief of staff, signal Coca-Cola’s bid to deepen regional focus, respond more nimbly to dynamic market conditions and capture growth potential in high-opportunity geographies while embedding digital capabilities at the core of its global operations.
