Food Dive reported the development on 2026-04-16. Andrew Archambault, who joined the Reese's maker in February 2025 from Keurig Dr Pepper, is leaving to pursue another opportunity.
The report places the news in a wider commercial context. Hershey’s U.S. president Andrew Archambault is leaving the Reese’s and SkinnyPop maker on May 1 to pursue another opportunity, the company said. Archambault joined Hershey in February 2025 from Keurig Dr Pepper as head of its confectionery business. He was promoted last month to oversee the company’s full U.S.
For the food sector, the practical implications extend beyond the immediate announcement. The company has started searching for Archambault’s replacement, according to an SEC filing.
Attention now turns to how companies, customers and regulators respond. Hershey, with more than $11 billion in annual sales, has been building its salty snacks business through the acquisitions of brands such as Dot’s pretzels and, more recently LesserEvil, which has a lineup of better-for-you popcorn, cheese puffs and other offerings.
