Banati joins from Kenvue, where he was chief financial officer. Before that, he served as vice chair and chief financial officer of Kellanova, formerly Kellogg Company. Earlier in his career, he held senior finance, strategy and regional leadership roles at Kellogg, Procter & Gamble, Cadbury Schweppes and Kraft Foods.
