Three months after the two food giants unveiled their plans to merge, they announced a new senior leadership team, with the bulk of management coming from Heinz. But the new general counsel, Jim Savina, was deputy general counsel and chief compliance officer at Kraft.

According to Monday evening’s statement, current Kraft general counsel Kim Rucker, along with a number of other members of Kraft senior management, will be leaving the company within 30 days or after the merger is completed.

Savina followed Rucker over from Avon in early 2013 to become the associate general counsel at Kraft.
