The CPGGUYS speak to our sixth guest to come from the iconic CPG manufacturer the Coca-Cola Company, where she has spent the entirety of her professional career since graduating from Rollins College. In her 2+ decade tenure with Coca-Cola, Dagmar Boggs has worked in a number of key leadership positions across North America including Global and National Customers in Retail and Foodservice, Franchise Leadership, and Operations. Earlier roles include North America Chief Customer Officer, President of Global 7-Eleven, Vice President of Global Burger King, Vice President, and Global Customer Strategic Capabilities. Most recently, she served as Chief Customer Officer for North America. At the beginning of this year, she was named President of Foodservice and On-Premise, and if she isn’t already busy enough, she serves as a board member of Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), Food Marketing Institute (FMI), and Nextup, formerly the Network of Executive Women.
