Kraft Foods Group says that Teri List-Stoll has joined the company as SVP of finance and will succeed current CFO Timothy McLevish in the first quarter of 2014.
List-Stoll has a wealth of consumer packaged goods experience, having worked for nearly 20 years at Procter & Gamble, according to Kraft. Since 1994, she has held a number of finance leadership roles in business unit management, supply chain, sales, accounting and financial planning and analysis. Most recently, she was SVP and treasurer. Prior to joining P&G, List-Stoll was a fellow with the Financial Accounting Standards Board and spent six years at Deloitte & Touche, providing financial counsel to large multinational companies. She also is a board and audit committee member of Danaher Corp. and a founding member of the Corporate Women’s Executive Forum.
“Teri’s financial expertise and deep experience at a consumer- and brand-focused company make her the right choice for our next CFO,” says Kraft CEO Tony Vernon. “We’ll benefit from her deep commitment to operational excellence and her track record of innovation in company-wide productivity initiatives. Plus, Teri’s energy, inclusive leadership style and success in developing people are a perfect match for our new culture.”
In her role as SVP of finance, List-Stoll will initially oversee Kraft’s business unit finance teams. She’ll also work alongside McLevish to ensure an orderly transition of CFO duties.
“We owe a big part of our success to Tim, who is an incredible partner in every way,” says Vernon. “He’s been instrumental in re-making Kraft, guiding us through a complex separation and establishing us as a stand-alone public company. Tim’s lasting legacies will be his disciplined approach to cash management, push for process simplification, and drive to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
The company plans to formally transition the CFO role from McLevish to List-Stoll in the first quarter of 2014.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed helping Kraft navigate some of the most exciting changes in our history,” says McLevish. “I am confident Teri is the right person to continue our journey to deliver the cost savings and focused approach to brand investments that will fuel our future growth.”
