Devin Cole was introduced as the new president of Tyson Foods’ International business segment.
During a quarterly earnings call on August 5, Tyson Foods CEO Donnie King pointed out that Cole, a former employee of Tyson Foods, rejoined the company in March as the head of Tyson’s McDonald’s business. But with the recent retirement of Amy Tu as the president of International operations, Cole had another title added.
“Since we got together last (the previous earnings call on May 6), Amy has decided to retire,” said King. “I just want to say that we miss her and thank her for her many contributions to the company. We wish Amy and her husband, Christian, well, but we have Devin in the seat now, and we look forward to continuing exceptional things as it relates to the international (business).”
