“We are very proud to have Kimberly lead our incredibly talented Procurement team,” said CCBSS President and CEO Brandi Shortt. “She brings an incredible depth and breadth of Coca-Cola System, beverage industry and bottler experience, gained over more than two decades. This adds valuable perspective to our strategy as we continue our work for the Coca-Cola System in the most innovative, collaborative, and effective manner possible.”

Reynolds has a rich background in procurement and business transformation, having served most recently as the Senior Director, Ingredients and Commodity Risk Management for CCBSS Procurement. She has been a part of the CCBSS team since 2016 and has held various management roles within the procurement division. Before joining the Coca-Cola System, Reynolds had a notable 15-year career with Archer Daniels Midland Company and Diageo.

Recognized for her extensive knowledge and expertise in strategic business management, proficiency building, and integration initiatives, Reynolds's appointment underscores CCBSS’s commitment to talent development and streamlining business processes within the Coca-Cola System. She is a proponent of creating operational partnerships that yield mutual value and long-term success.
