Chandigarh 19^th July:- Coca-Cola today announced the appointment of Sarvita Sethi as Vice President - Finance, for India and South West Asia. She takes over from Sanjeev Kumar, who moves to Lagos as Director Finance, Coca-Cola West Africa. Sarvita will report to Venkatesh Kini, President, Coca-Cola India and South West Asia. The India and South West Asia Business Unit of The Coca-Cola Company includes Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives besides India.

Sanjeev Kumar, a 20 year veteran of The Coca-Cola Company and a part of the team that reintroduced Coca-Cola in India in 1993, will now head the Finance Operations for 31 countries in the Coca-Cola West Africa Business Unit. He will report to Peter Njonjo, President, Coca-Cola West Africa Business Unit.

Announcing these movements, Venkatesh Kini, President, Coca-Cola India and South West Asia, said that these changes are in line with our goal of promoting and developing Coca-Cola leaders and also maintaining a steady pipeline of senior talent in the system. One of the reasons people value The Coca-Cola Company, is for its ability to give them cross culture and cross geography experience, and both these leaders exemplify that. I take this opportunity to recognize Sanjeev's role in streamlining and leading key changes in the Finance function for the company in India and South West Asia. I wish him the very best as he takes up a very challenging new assignment in a continent that is one of the growth engines of the world. I also welcome Sarvita Sethi to India. Her solid credentials in finance coupled with her cross-sector experience, position her well to lead the function across South Asia and India.
