Karemacher Named New MD of CCEP Australia Amid Rodriguez Departure
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Australia (CCEP) has named Miles Karemacher as its new Managing Director, effective January 18. The move comes as Orlando Rodriguez prepares to leave the company early next year.
Rodriguez joined CCEP in 2019 and led the business through a transformation process, achieving sustained growth with continuous improvement. Gareth McGeown, General Manager of the APS business unit, praised Rodriguez's leadership and commercial focus, saying his impact on the business, customers, and partners will be greatly missed.
Karemacher returns to Australia from Italy, where he has been serving as General Manager for Coca-Cola HBC. He brings extensive experience across the Coca-Cola system and consumer goods industry, having held senior leadership roles at SABMiller and Coca-Cola Amatil in Australia.
