Kraft Foods Inc. said Wednesday that it has appointed Sam Rovit as its executive vice president of strategy.

He has written journal articles and co-authored the book "Mastering the Merger" with another Bain director.
Rovit, 52, will succeed Michael Osanloo on Jan. 29. Osanloo is becoming president of Kraft Foods' grocery business in North America.
