Hershey is bringing in PepsiCo executive Heather Hoytink to lead the confectionery and salty snack group's US division.
Hoytink will take up her role as president of the Reese's chocolate and SkinnyPop popcorn maker's US business on 8 July. She was most recently senior vice president and chief commercial officer for PepsiCo's US business in out-of-home beverages.
Andrew Archambault previously occupied the role but left in May to join US drinks firm Nutrabolt as president and COO.
Another former PepsiCo executive, Kirk Tanner, helms Hershey as its president and CEO. He joined the business in August last year from the fast-food chain Wendy's having spent more than 30 years at PepsiCo.
Tanner said in a statement that Hoytink has "operating discipline to execute at scale and a track record of growth that will accelerate our US business".
