Alison Lewis, Coca-Cola's head marketer in North America, is leaving the company at the end of this month.
According to an internal announcement, Ms. Lewis, senior VP-strategic marketing at the Coca-Cola
North America Group, has accepted a senior leadership role with another
global organization. A Coca-Cola spokeswoman declined to name the
company.
It is the second high-profile departure
from the Coca-Cola North America Group marketing ranks. Pio Schunker,
senior VP-integrated marketing communications, departed in August. His
role remains open.
In the internal announcement, Katie Bayne, president-North America Brands, noted Ms. Lewis' replacement would be named shortly.
Ms. Lewis has been with the company for nearly 18 years.
Prior to her current role she was the senior VP-general manager for
Odwalla, a subsidiary of Coca-Cola. "Alison is a talented marketing
leader and this new opportunity allows her to achieve her professional
and personal goals," Ms. Bayne said.
As the top marketer in the Coca-Cola North America Group, Ms. Lewis
has been front and center when it comes to determining how the beverage
giant doles out more than $600 million in U.S. ad spending annually.
