Barry Callebaut, the world’s largest chocolate producer, said on Tuesday it has appointed Thomas Gaengler as its new Chief Operating Officer, effective September 1.
Gaengler will replace Clemens Woehrle in the role, according to a company statement. He joins Barry Callebaut from Mondelez, where he served as Global Chief Procurement Officer for the past four years, overseeing the group’s procurement operations.
The Swiss confectionery group said Gaengler brings more than 30 years of executive experience in supply chain, procurement and operations management. His appointment follows a period of leadership transition at Barry Callebaut, which operates globally with a focus on cocoa processing and chocolate production.
