Ex-Coke exec dies
NEW YORK
Donald Keough, who helped steer Coca-Cola through the “cola wars” of the 1980s and played a key role in the introduction of New Coke, died Tuesday in Atlanta, according to the company. He was 88.
Keough served as the company’s president and chief operating officer from 1981 to 1993. He is credited with expanding Coca-Cola into a more-global presence.
During his tenure, however, Coca-Cola also introduced “New Coke” as it was fighting off efforts by Pepsi-Co to take market share. The new formula was a disaster and prompted protests by fans and an onslaught of negative publicity.
