NORWICH – Chobani announced Thursday the promotion of Peter McGuinness to President of Chobani reporting to Hamdi Ulukaya, CEO and Founder, effective August 28.

Officials said this well-deserved promotion comes after six years of McGuinness' extraordinary leadership, impact and commitment to the Chobani brand, its people, and its customers, helping the company to become America's number one Greek Yogurt brand and the second largest overall yogurt manufacturer in the U.S.

"We created this company with people at the center, and they are the reason for where we are today. Peter has been an amazing member of that journey, and I'm honored and happy to have him as President," said Hamdi Ulukaya, Founder and CEO of Chobani. "Passion, intelligence, and collaboration make us who we are, and I love seeing this talent rising up through the company, working side by side to build the future of Chobani. We continue to break down walls, collaborate more, and become closer as leaders, making a better food company for tomorrow."

In addition to his current responsibilities overseeing Chobani's demand function, McGuinness will also oversee Chobani's supply chain, manufacturing, sustainability, and research and development functions.
