Krispy Kreme, Morgan Stanley, and Sherwin-Williams are major companies that operate in their own business categories. But in this New Year, the three are being put together as they are among the top businesses that have appointed a new chief executive officer at the start of 2024.
Krispy Kreme, Morgan Stanley, and Sherwin-Williams will have new leaders who took the helm effective on Jan. 1. Several other companies are also kicking off the new year with a new CEO, and the three mentioned brands are one of those most recognizable names, as per Fox Business.
The appointment of a new leader can be a long process, starting from the search, and companies go through it to have better leaders or be led by executives who can help the organization grow further. This could be the same goal for Krispy Kreme, Morgan Stanley, and Sherwin-Williams for starting the new year with new CEOs.
Krispy Kreme
The doughnut and coffee chain announced that it has appointed Josh Charlesworth as its new president and CEO. He has taken over the role from Michael Tattersfield, who is leaving his post after six years.
Once he steps down, he will become a member of the company's board as a senior adviser. It was mentioned that he will also be a brand ambassador based on Krispy Kreme's succession plan.
"Transforming the Krispy Kreme brand and culture has been a highlight of my career, and I am truly grateful for our amazing Krispy Kremers who continue to inspire me," Tattersfield said as he handed down the CEO role to Charlesworth. "Josh's shared passion for the brand, our Krispy Kremers, and freakin' awesome doughnuts gives me the utmost confidence in our continued success and I look forward to watching all he'll accomplish."
Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley has welcomed Edward "Ted" Pick as its new chief CEO and joined the board as well. He replaced James Gorman, who announced his intention to step down during the previous annual general shareholder meeting. BNN Breaking reported that Pick's appointment is part of Morgan Stanley's transition plans.
Sherwin-Williams
Lastly, the Paint and coating manufacturing company announced it had picked Heidi Petz as its 10th CEO in Shewin-William's 157-year history. She is a veteran who has served the company as president and COO in the last two years.
