Godiva CEO Who Brought Fancy Candy to the Masses Plans Exit
- PepsiCo, Starbucks veteran to leave after three years in role
- Search for Young-Scrivner’s replacement underway, company says
Godiva’s top executive will step down at the end of November, three years after joining the chocolate company that’s been trying to break out of the luxury segment and into American consumers’ everyday snacking routines.
Chief Executive Officer Annie Young-Scrivner will exit the Yildiz Holding-owned candy company at the end of November in order to pursue another opportunity outside Godiva, a spokeswoman said in an email Thursday. The search for her replacement is underway and the departing CEO will assist in the transition.
