Leadership Shifts Continue at Kooli, Inc.

The board of directors of Kooli, Inc., the soft drink company, has elected Benjamin Gold and Wendy Schiff as senior vice presidents. Effective August 1, these appointments are accompanied by other major changes in senior leadership. As announced two weeks ago, Pyotr Mikhailov will become the company's new CEO on August 1 as well.

Benjamin Gold, a 22-year company veteran, will lead the company's global marketing team as Chief Growth Officer in his new role as senior vice president. Gold is a natural choice for this position, having led the expansion of Kooli's product line in every international market in which he has worked. Since 2015, he has overseen the continued expansion of products and brands in East Asia, which is one of the company's most important international business units.

The other newly elected senior vice president, Wendy Schiff, is currently Pyotr Mikhailov's Chief of Staff. A fourteen-year veteran of the company, her new role is Chief People Officer (formerly known as Chief Human Resources Officer). Kooli considers its long-term growth and success to be dependent on its ability to recruit and train talented people. Schiff will lead efforts to drive cultural change throughout the organization, and she will continue to serve as Mikhailov's Chief of Staff.
