Dinkins will assume the position on 1 January 2018.
“A couple of years ago, James Quincey and I created a plan to set up CCNA for long-term, sustainable growth,” said Douglas in an interview on Coca-Cola Co’s website. “Since then, we have evolved our growth strategy, continued expanding our total beverage portfolio and worked to complete our refranchising plan.
“Throughout this transformation, our business has been able to perform well in a very competitive industry, while leading growth among all large consumer goods companies in North America, as reported through the second quarter. I had a personal goal to retire from the company after completing the plan we laid out.”
