Mr. Mesquita joins BlueTriton from Johnson & Johnson, where he was executive vice president and worldwide chairman of the company's consumer division.

In his new role, Mr. Mesquita will lead the company's growth and innovation initiatives as an independent business. BlueTriton sells spring and purified water under the Poland Spring, Deer Park, Ozarka, Ice Mountain, Zephyrhills, Arrowhead, Pure Life and Splash brands.
