Kind Healthy Snacks has announced the appointment of Russell Stokes as the new chief executive officer of Kind North America. Stokes most recently served as Kind’s chief growth officer, joining the team earlier this year. In his new role, he will lead Kind North America’s efforts to further uphold and expand the Kind Promise, a set of nutrition principles that have guided the company’s innovation since its founding, and Kind’s mission and purpose to be kinder to our bodies, our communities, and our planet—one snack, one act at a time.
“Since joining Kind earlier this year, I have been inspired by our team’s deep commitment to uphold the Kind Promise as we grow and expand,” says Stokes. “I’ve enjoyed watching this purpose-driven brand grow and evolve into the household name it is today, and I look forward to the work ahead of us.”
Previously, Stokes served as Mars’ chief strategy Officer, Whirlpool’s head of strategy and mergers & acquisitions, and Boston Consulting Group’s partner and managing director.
