Kraft Heinz legal chief Rashida La Lande told Law.com Monday afternoon that she is leaving the company, effective immediately, because she wants employment that is closer to her New York City-based family.

In a LinkedIn message, she said that “while I work for Kraft Heinz, which is headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh, I am from NY and my parents, my husband and my four children live there. I am stepping down from Kraft Heinz to work closer to them.”
