Ms. Minnick spent eight years living and working in Asia, including serving as president and COO of Coca-Cola Asia, where she oversaw operations in over 40 countries, drove supply chain efficiencies and expanded the Company’s portfolio in a Group that accounts for approximately one-third of the Company’s operating income, refreshes over half the world’s population and provides total system employment to over 100,000 people. Before that, Ms. Minnick served as president of Coca-Cola Japan—perhaps the Company’s most vibrant market for the integration of innovation, marketing, and strategic opportunities—and as president of the South Pacific division, based in Australia.
During her 22-year career at the Company, Ms. Minnick has a proven track record of developing good ideas and, most importantly, bringing those ideas through the system, using new manufacturing technologies and successfully commercializing them into new products.
