Nestle appoints UK marketing director

Nestle has appointed Terri Tinella as UK marketing director for its confectionery division.

It follows the promotion of David Rennie earlier this year. Tinella joins the UK division from Nestle Canada, where she is currently senior vice president for communications and marketing effectiveness. She will take over the role in January when Rennie starts in his new role and Paul Grimwood, former managing director, will become chief executive of Nestle UK & Ireland. The restructure was prompted by the departure of Alistair Sykes, currently chief executive of Nestle, who is standing down at the end of this year. He will remain with Nestle as non-executive chairman until the end of 2009.
