Mauricio Leyva Appointed as New CEO of 7-Eleven
Seven & i Holdings, the parent company of 7-Eleven, has appointed Mauricio Leyva as the convenience retailer's new CEO in North America. Effective August 1, Leyva succeeds Joseph DePinto after more than two decades at the helm. With a background spanning over two decades in consumer products and beverage industries—including leadership roles at Anheuser-Busch InBev, Keurig Dr Pepper, and Grupo Lala—Leyva brings extensive experience to his new role. As 7-Eleven prepares for an eventual IPO following delays earlier this year, Leyva will focus on innovation, profitability, and positioning the company for public market success. His prior work in retail strategy at McKinsey & Company is expected to aid in navigating store remodels and franchise conversions across North America's largest convenience store market. Leyva’s transition into U.S. convenience retailing marks a new chapter for 7-Eleven, as the industry gains insight into his leadership style shaped by global beverage operations and strategic consulting.
