Commenting on the appointment, Michael Yeung, president, Wrigley Asia Pacific, said, “India is one of the top 20 geographies of Wrigley globally and India has got a huge potential as an important growth engine to fuel the growth of our region. We are excited to have Deepak join Wrigley India. Given his extensive experience and solid track record, I am confident that our India business will achieve new heights under Deepak’s leadership.”
Iyer brings with him a wide spectrum of experience in sales, marketing and general management functions with leading global companies, in both the manufacturing and corporate sectors.
