Karemacher Named CCEP Australia MD as Orlando Rodriguez Set to Depart
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) Australia has appointed Miles Karemacher as managing director of its Australian operation, effective January 18, 2027. This change comes as Orlando Rodriguez is set to leave the company in early 2027 after leading CCEP Australia since 2019.
Karemacher currently serves as general manager of Coca-Cola HBC Italy and will return to Australia from his current role. Under Rodriguez's leadership, the business has undergone significant transformation and growth, with a focus on strengthening growth enablers and driving continuous improvement.
Gareth McGeown, general manager of CCEP's APS Business Unit, expressed appreciation for Rodriguez's contributions: 'Orlando has made a significant contribution to CCEP in Australia. His leadership and commercial focus have helped position the business strongly for the future.'
