Replacing Francois-Xavier Roger, who served as Nestlé's CFO for eight years, Manz brings a fresh perspective and a wealth of expertise to the role.

As Nestlé continues to navigate the complexities of the global food industry, her appointment signals a forward-thinking approach to financial management and strategic decision-making.
