Coca-Cola expands Sanket Ray’s responsibilities to also lead emerging large markets
Ray will now oversee high-priority markets including Greater China and Mongolia, in addition to Japan and South Korea
On The Move
Coca-Cola has restructured its leadership as part of a broader organisational overhaul, expanding Sanket Ray’s remit from March 31. Ray, who currently leads the India and Southwest Asia (INSWA) business, will move into a newly created role overseeing Emerging Large Markets, media reports said.
Under his expanded mandate, Ray will take charge of high-priority markets including Greater China and Mongolia, as well as Japan and South Korea, while continuing to head INSWA operations.
The leadership realignment comes ahead of Henrique Braun assuming charge as chief executive on March 31. As part of the transition, Coca-Cola is creating two newly defined market clusters that will report directly to Braun, aimed at sharpening decision-making and strengthening execution across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Commenting on the changes, the company said Ray will oversee markets spanning India, Southwest Asia, Greater China, Mongolia, Japan and South Korea in his dual role as President of the India and Southwest Asia operating unit and Emerging Large Markets Lead.
