Coke Assigns Larger Roles to 3 Officers
By Constance L. Hays
Stahl, 46, a former chief financial officer at Coke, will take direct
charge of some international operations for the first time. Now the head
of the company's important North American division, Stahl will expand his
oversight over countries where the company has been struggling, like Brazil,
Colombia and Venezuela. The move is seen as crucial to making him a contender

whose president, Ralph H. Cooper, moves to the top of Coca-Cola's North
American operations.[.....]
