Kraft Heinz Company names Canadian president

Kraft Canada president Tim Berman to retire

The new Kraft Heinz Company has found a president to lead its Canadian division.

The company has announced the appointment of Carlos Piani as zone president of Canada for the Kraft Heinz Company. He starts September 1.

Most recently, Piani held the position of CEO at real estate investment company PDG, based in Brazil. In the role, Piani led the merger of several companies.

According to Kraft Heinz, Canada will operate as a stand-alone zone and report directly into the CEO, Bernardo Heez. Canada’s leadership team was announced last month, including Mark Ayer as head of foodservice and Tony Matta as chief marketing officer.

Tim Berman, president of Kraft Canada, will retire in December.

“Moving forward, The Kraft Heinz Company will reinvest more of our dollars where they really matter – in our brands, our products, and ultimately, in benefitting our shared consumers,” the company said.
