Tony Chow is heading to Coke Canada Bottling

Canada Coke Bottling has appointed former Kellanova Canada executive Tony Chow as president. He starts April 28.

Chow is replacing Stephen du Toit, who joined the company in 2018 and served as chief operating office and then as president.

Chow was most recently president of Kellanova Canada (formerly Kellogg Canada) and a member of the company's North American leadership team. He was instrumental in the successful split of Kellogg Canada into two independent companies: Kellanova Canada and WK Kellogg Canada.

Chow joined Kellogg Canada in 2003, holding several senior-level positions in both Canada and the U.S. He served in customer leadership roles across the Canadian sales organization until 2010, when he promoted to vice-president, sales, in the U.S.

He returned to Canada in 2012 to fill the vice-president, sales position before moving into the senior vice-president, marketing and sales role in 2017. He was then promoted to president of Kashi Company, where the company credited him with delivering "strong business results."

“Tony’s passion for people and extensive experience in successfully leading businesses through transformation into growth organizations will help us ignite our growth and enable our mission to deliver optimism and create a better future for our customers, consumers and communities as we aim to be the leading beverage partner in Canada," said Todd Parsons, CEO of Coke Canada Bottling, in a press release.
