Coke's North American
President Heads to Clorox
By Patricia Odell
 | | Knauss Douglas |
Donald R. Knauss, the president of Coca-Cola North America, has resigned
to take the chairman and CEO post at Clorox, a job he called "the
opportunity of a lifetime."
Replacing Knauss is J. Alexander M. Douglas Jr., Coca-Cola's senior VP
and chief customer officer. Douglas joined the company in 1988 as a
district sales manager in Coca-Cola USA Fountain.
Knauss, 55, has been with the company for 12 years and in the role of
president of Coca-Cola North America for two years. He starts the new
job at Clorox in early October. He began his career with Coca-Cola in
1994 as senior VP-marketing for The Minute Maid Co.
At Clorox, Knauss replaces Robert W. Matschullat, who has worked as
Clorox's interim chairman since March after Gerald E. Johnston, 58,
suffered a heart attack and stepped aside. He will remain on the board.
