Coca-Cola Co.'s (KO) Costa Coffee unit on Wednesday said Dominic Paul will step down as chief executive, effective Nov. 30.

The U.K. coffee-shop chain said Jill McDonald, most recently managing director of clothing and home for retailer Marks & Spencer Group PLC (MKS.LN), will succeed Mr. Paul as CEO.

Coca-Cola in January completed its $4.9 billion acquisition of Costa Coffee from hotel-operating conglomerate Whitbread PLC.

Costa Coffee said Mr. Paul, who has been CEO since 2016, will remain as a special adviser through February to support the transition.
