March 7, 2017

As Hershey's new CEO Michele Buck begins her new role this month, she's already built a new executive team boasting new and familiar faces.

Todd Tillemans will come on board April 3 as Hershey's new U.S. president, according to a Central Penn Business Journal report.

Steven Schiller is now president, international, and former Chief Supply Chain Officer Terry O'Day is moving into the role of senior vice president and chief product supply and technology officer.

Hershey's Chief Knowledge and Technology Officer Waheed Zaman is retiring as of the end of March and the brand is searching for a new chief growth officer.

"These appointments reaffirm our commitment to creating opportunities for remarkable people to grow within the company and to attracting world-class talent from outside of Hershey," Buck said in a statement, according to the Journal. "On behalf of the board of directors and management, I would like to thank Waheed Zaman for his work over the past four years to advance our technology, data and analytics capabilities."
