“I feel honoured to lead such an excellent European team and look forward to creating the future of snacking.”

Europe is the most important contributor to the growth of Mondelēz, accounting for more than one-third of the revenue of the group, with $ 10 billion net revenue in 2018.

Gruber has held a variety of roles in the FMCG industry, starting out at Kraft Foods Austria (now Mondelēz International).

There, he held various positions in Marketing until 2000.

He returned in 2007 after a spell outside the company, joining as director chocolate for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, a role he held until 2010, when he was appointed president chocolate for Europe.
