Who is Mauricio Leyva, 7-Eleven’s next CEO?
Seven & i Holdings has named Mauricio Leyva as the new CEO of 7-Eleven in North America, effective August 1, 2026. Leyva succeeds Joseph DePinto, who retired after over two decades. Leyva brings extensive experience from the beverage and consumer goods industry, having held senior roles at Keurig Dr Pepper, Grupo Lala, and Anheuser-Busch InBev, where he helped scale Mexico's Modelorama convenience chain. Most recently, he was a senior advisor at McKinsey & Company. Leyva takes over as 7-Eleven faces pressure to improve innovation and profitability in the U.S., its largest market. The company is also preparing for a planned IPO, which was delayed earlier this year due to market volatility. Leyva's background includes leadership in international business development, mergers and acquisitions, and digitalization. He holds a BBA from Universidad de Los Andes and executive education from Stanford and Oxford.
