Jochanan Senf appointed as Ben & Jerry’s CEO

The Magnum Ice Cream Company has announced the appointment of Jochanan Senf as the global CEO of Ben & Jerry’s, effective mid-July.

An Ice Cream veteran, Jochanan’s career has been deeply entwined with Ben & Jerry’s, having spent seven years with the Ben & Jerry’s business, including as Managing Director Europe. This experience allowed him to learn first-hand the importance and power of Ben & Jerry’s unique three-part mission – product, economic and social – and how this is instrumental to the success of the business and its impact on communities.

Jochanan deepened his ice cream expertise during his time as Vice President Refreshments Indonesia, where he was responsible for driving in-country performance across categories including ice cream, underpinned by his strong commercial acumen.

A seasoned general manager, Jochanan rejoins the ice cream business from his current role with Unilever’s Foods Business Group, where since 2022 he has been General Manager Foods for the DACH region with end-to-end responsibility for business performance, as well as Vice President for the Cooking Aids business across the whole of Europe.
