Hershey Co. (HSY) on Thursday said it named Steve Voskuil senior vice president and chief financial officer, effective May 13.

The Hershey, Pa., candy maker said Mr. Voskuil succeeds Patricia Little, who last year announced plans to retire this spring after serving as chief financial officer since 2015.

Hershey said Mr. Voskuil is joining from medical-device company Avanos Medical Inc. (AVNS), where he has been chief financial officer since 2014.

Avanos said Mr. Voskuil is resigning effective May 8, adding that it has begun a search for a new chief financial officer.
