He has ratcheted up internal growth targets and spent about $15 billion on acquisitions in the past two years, mainly in the U.S., which now accounts for about 25% of Nestle's sales.

Some analysts have questioned whether Brabeck is paying too much for his conquests and taking on too much debt amid a global slump that is lingering longer than expected.

Meintel’s development as a dominant offensive threat began after he recovered from an injury that kept him off the ice for the first half of his sophomore year. Although he scored only five goals in the second half of that season, Meintel surged to the top of the offense just one year later. “He had a good summer, and his confidence is still carrying high from last...
