NEW YORK Heineken USA said it has appointed Andrew Thomas president and CEO. He succeeds Frans van der Minne, who returns to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as group director of human resources after five years in charge of U.S. operations.

Thomas, 38, becomes the first American to head the U.S. business unit, Heineken said. He was transferred to Heineken International in Amsterdam in 2000 as regional export manager for the company’s Central and South American, Caribbean, African and the Middle Eastern operations.
