Five Facts From Dave

Joined Kraft: In 1984 as a Financial Analyst with Kraft Canada

Birthplace: Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
Favorite Kraft product: Tassimo, because of its convenience and high-quality coffee

Most interesting or memorable assignment: I’ve been with Kraft for more than 20 years so I’ve had a lot of interesting assignments. But, I would have to say the most memorable was when I joined Jacobs Suchard in Switzerland shortly after the acquisition in 1990. It was an exciting time for the company and we enjoyed five solid years of growth.

Something few people know about me: I enjoy camping every summer in Canada with my family. As my children have gotten older, I also have been able to return to wilderness canoe camping.
