The Hershey Company appointed Luigi Mirri as general manager of India on January 1, 2024.
Mirri served as the general manager of APAC, and now will expand his responsibilities to include India, the company said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
He has spearheaded the expansion of the brand footprint in critical markets, such as Australia, fostered a strong relationship with 7-Eleven convenience stores and played a pivotal role in fostering stability in Hershey Korea.
Before joining The Hershey Company five years ago, Mirri was based in India with another confectionery company Ferrero Rocher where he held key leadership positions.
“Luigi’s outstanding track record in steering growth for large enterprises, driving profitability, and turnarounds, will guide his leadership as we continue to tap our desired growth and unlock new potential,” Rohit Grover, president, of international, at The Hershey Company, said in the statement.
Mirri said, “I’m looking forward to embracing my new role and the opportunity it brings, including my return to India. India is a key focus for Hershey, bringing moments of goodness to our consumers and our commitment to talent development and leadership building.”
