Nespresso has appointed Jean-Christophe Jaunin as its new chief executive officer for North America, according to Bloomberg.


Jaunin, who previously served as global chief customer and technology officer at Nespresso since 2021, succeeds Alfonso Gonzalez Loeschen, who was appointed as global CEO in September last year, in the key role overseeing the brand’s operations across the US and Canada.


The leadership change comes amid a wider executive reshuffle at Nestlé in 2025 following a high-profile internal controversy. In September, long-time executive Laurent Freixe exited the company over a workplace conduct issue, triggering changes across senior management.


Under Jaunin leadership, Nespresso plans to intensify its retail presence in the region, said Bloomberg, including leveraging its recently opened flagship store in New York City – its largest worldwide.
