Keurig Dr Pepper has appointed Anthony DiSilvestro as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.
He will report directly to CEO Tim Cofer and lead the company’s Finance and Technology teams during a period of major strategic change.
DiSilvestro joins with more than four decades of experience across food, beverage and consumer goods.
His background includes senior roles at Mattel, Campbell Soup Company and Scott Paper Company, giving him a long track record in cost optimisation, financial transformation and complex transactions.
Why It Matters
The appointment arrives as Keurig Dr Pepper prepares for the integration of JDE Peet’s and the creation of two future companies.
This transition will require tight financial control, disciplined capital management and the ability to manage large-scale separation work.
A CFO with deep experience in restructuring and M&A signals how seriously KDP is treating this next chapter.
The company is balancing strong current performance with structural changes that will shape its long-term competitiveness.
DiSilvestro brings direct experience with similar transitions.
At Mattel, he strengthened the balance sheet and modernised the finance organisation.
At Campbell Soup, he led a major cost-structure reset and oversaw multiple acquisitions and divestitures.
KDP expects these capabilities to support both integration planning and continued momentum in core beverage categories.
The company also highlighted that DiSilvestro will work closely with its board, management team and finance leaders through this phase.
KDP described the role as central to “launching the next chapter” for the business.
Sudhanshu Priyadarshi, the outgoing CFO and President, International, will remain with the company until April 7, 2026 as a strategic advisor.
He has been part of KDP’s expansion and financial performance since joining in 2022.
The extended advisory period is designed to ensure a smooth handover.
As part of the transition, KDP has expanded responsibilities for two senior finance leaders.
George Lagoudakis becomes Deputy CFO in a newly created position that will focus on ensuring the successful separation of the future Beverage Co.
Jane Gelfand moves into an expanded SVP Strategic Finance and Capital Markets role, continuing to lead Investor Relations and International Finance while taking on additional transaction and financing responsibilities linked to the upcoming acquisition and separation.
Keurig Dr Pepper operates a large beverage portfolio with more than 125 owned, licensed and partner brands.
Its position across carbonated soft drinks, ready-to-drink coffee, tea, water, juice, mixers and premium coffee gives it a major presence in North America’s retail beverage market.
Annual revenue exceeds $15 billion.
The leadership changes take effect immediately, marking the start of the company’s next strategic phase.
