Anheuser-Busch InBev Announces Leadership Changes

Anheuser-Busch InBev has announced that its chief financial and technology officer, Felipe Dutra, is to step down from his position.

The group has made a number of changes to its leadership team as a result of Dutra's departure, with Fernando Tennenbaum named chief financial officer, David Almeida appointed chief strategy and technology officer, and Nelson Jamel named chief people officer at the business.

The new appointees will report to chief executive Carlos Brito.

These changes will become effective after AB InBev’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, on 29 April 2020.

Brito commented on the changes, “Felipe’s departure is bittersweet. For nearly 30 years, he has been a champion of our company and a fantastic partner to me and the members of our senior leadership team as we grew the company."
