Gildan Activewear CFO steps down in order to take same position at Kraft Foods Group

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Gildan Activewear Inc.’s chief financial officer, James Kehoe, has resigned after about a month with the Montreal-based clothing company in order to take the same position at his former employer, Kraft Foods Group Inc.
Kehoe, who also served as executive vice-president and chief administrative officer at Gildan (TSX:GIL), had joined the company in January.
He had an approximately 25-year career at Kraft in finance and operations and is rejoining the food company after it announced last week that Teri List-Stoll would be stepping down from the CFO post at month’s end.
“While the timing of this change is not ideal, the opportunity with Kraft is something I could not pass up given my extensive history with the company and its people,” Kehoe said in a statement. Kraft’s products include Velveeta and Miracle Whip.
Laurence G. Sellyn, who had served as Gildan’s CFO, chief administrative officer and executive vice-president before Kehoe’s appointment, will resume the positions while the company looks for a replacement…
