ATLANTA - The Coca-Cola Company has named Steve Heyer its new president and chief operating officer Wednesday. <br>
<br>
But Coke stressed that he's not being groomed to take over the world's largest beverage maker -- at least not anytime soon. <br>
<br>
The announcement was made during an afternoon conference call with Heyer and Douglas Daft, Coke's chairman and chief executive officer. <br>
<br>
Heyer previously served as president and chief operating officer of Coca-Cola Ventures and Coca-Cola Latin America. A replacement for head of the Latin American division has not been determined, but Heyer says it would likely be someone from inside the company.
