Nestlé Waters’ boss to retire
Nestlé Waters’ executive vice president John Harris announced his decision to leave the company at the end of November.
Harris will retire from the role he has held since 2007 and the company he first joined 39 years ago.
Nestlé ceo Paul Bulcke said Harris had made a strong contribution to the success of the company during almost four decades with the business.
“He successfully led the worldwide expansion of our water business and, in particular, our Perrier and S.Pellegrino international brands. John was also instrumental in further developing Nestlé Pure Life as the world's leading bottled water brand.”
Harris will be succeeded by the current ceo of Nestlé Purina Pet Care Europe Marco Settembri.
Bulcke said he was confident Settembri would take Nestlé Waters’ to new levels of achievement.
