PITTSBURGH  — CoGo's Co. named John Eby III as the convenience store chain's new president and CEO, reported the Pittsburgh Business Times.

He will succeed CoGo's founder Carl Colteryahn Jr., who is also Eby's father-in-law.

Eby most recently served as manager of information systems at The Kraft Heinz Co. He has also held positions with PNC Bank and Fore Systems.
