Hershey Co. hired a new finance chief and is replacing a top leader of its international business.

Steve Voskuil will take over the chief financial officer position at Hershey on May 13, joining the chocolate and snack company from Avanos Medical Inc., where he currently serves as finance chief, Hershey said Thursday.

He will replace Patricia Little, who joined Hershey in 2015 after working for staffing firm Kelly Services Inc. and Ford Motor Co. She is retiring.

The Hershey, Pa.-based company also said Thursday that it appointed Rohit Grover as president of its international business, effective June 1. He currently serves as a vice president and general manager of the Greater China region.

Mr. Grover is taking over the job from Steven Schiller, who is leaving the company.

The appointments come as Hershey looks to boost its performance this year by rolling out new candy options and packaging. The company faces stiff competition for its chocolate products as well as its snack products, which includes SkinnyPop popcorn and Pirate's Booty cheese puffs. Like other food companies, Hershey is grappling with higher shipping costs.

Mr. Voskuil has also worked in senior finance roles at Kimberly-Clark, according to Hershey.

The company said it promoted Jason Reiman to chief supply chain officer. He has worked for Hershey for more than 20 years and held a variety of executive roles.

Also, Terry O'Day has been appointed the company's chief technology and data officer, a position he will begin June 1.

Shares in Hershey are up about 9% so far this year.
