After Sara Lee Corporation com­pleted the spin-off of its international coffee and tea business in June, KENT MAGILL took on the role of executive vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary of the new entity, known as the Hillshire Brands Company. The company focuses on North American meat sales, including brands such as Hillshire Farm and Jimmy Dean, most famous for their sausages, in addition to its flagship baked goods. (The beverages spin-off is now known as D.E Master Blenders 1753.)

Magill found out about the job through a headhunter and says he immediately knew that "in terms of size and strategy, it just fit me."
