Diageo said that Lavanya Chandrashekar is stepping down as chief financial officer after three years in the role to return to the U.S., and will be replaced by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners' Nik Jhangiani.

The London-based maker of Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky, Guinness stout and Smirnoff vodka said on Friday that Chandrashekar--who has been with the company for six years--will step down in autumn.

Separately Coca-Cola Europacific confirmed that Jhangiani would be stepping down to join Diageo and that the search for his replacement was well underway.
