Hershey to transition to a new CFO

HERSHEY, PA. — The Hershey Co. has promoted Dave Hulays to chief financial officer. He succeeds Steve Voskuil, who intends to retire in early 2027.

Hulays has more than 30 years of financial leadership experience, including the past 14 years at Hershey. He most recently was vice president of finance. Since joining Hershey in 2012 as vice president of finance for Canada, he has taken on broader financial leadership responsibilities across the company, including the US and international businesses, global supply chain, M&A and enterprise transformation.

Before joining Hershey, he spent 15 years at Procter & Gamble in commercial, supply chain, strategy, global business development and global business services across the company’s North American and international businesses.

“Dave is a proven, enterprise-minded finance leader who has helped shape nearly every corner of this business, from our commercial and supply chain organizations to our growth agenda,” said Kirk Tanner, president and chief executive officer of Hershey. “He leads with rigor, accountability and courage. I’m confident he’s the right person to lead our finance organization into its next chapter.”

Hulays holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Waterloo and a master’s degree in business administration from York University’s Schulich School of Business in Toronto.

Voskuil, who has led Hershey’s finance organization for the past seven years, will move into the role of senior vice president of strategic projects until his retirement early next year. He will focus on initiatives for the CEO and board while ensuring a smooth transition with Hulays, the company said.

“I also want to thank Steve for his leadership over the past seven years,” Tanner said. “He has been an incredible partner to me and to this company, and his continued partnership will support some of our most important priorities as we move through this transition.”
