Sanjay Khosla joined Kraft Foods in January 2007.  He leads our $13.6 billion business in developing markets, specifically the Asia Pacific; Central and Eastern Europe; Middle East and Africa; and Latin America regions. 

As a member of the Kraft Foods Executive Team, Sanjay is responsible for our business in more than 60 countries, including a strong footprint and leading positions in each of the fast growing BRIC markets – Brazil, Russia, India and China.  He also looks after a roster of more than 100 iconic brands, such as Cadbury, Halls, Jacobs, Lacta, Milka, Oreo, Tang and Trident.

With more than 30 years of international business experience and a clear strategy of "Winning through Focus," Sanjay turned around this important business -- catapulting it to top-tier performance.  Today, our developing markets business is the growth engine for Kraft Foods.  

Having lived and worked around the world, Sanjay is truly a global citizen. Before coming to Kraft Foods, he was with Fonterra Co-operative Group, a multinational dairy company based in New Zealand.  At Fonterra, Sanjay served as Managing Director of the company's consumer and foodservice business.  During that time, he helped turn around the consumer business.

Before joining Fonterra in 2004, Sanjay spent 27 years with Unilever in India, London and Europe.  He most recently served as Senior Vice President, Global Beverages and Chairman of Unilever's $4 billion beverages category.  The business saw accelerated growth worldwide as a result of the "Paint the World Yellow with Lipton" business program.

Sanjay graduated with honors in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology.  In 1998, he completed the Harvard University Advanced Management Program.  That same year, he was named "Marketing Superstar" by the prominent marketing industry publication, "Advertising Age."

Sanjay serves on the Board of Directors of Best Buy and NIIT, a global information technology education company based in India.  He is a trustee of the Goodman Theater in Chicago, Ill, US.  He has led lectures on managing international brands and business at Columbia University in New York, University of Chicago, Northwestern University and at IMD in Lausanne, Switzerland.
