Chobani Inc. hired former Juul Labs Inc. chief executive Kevin Burns as its new president and chief operating officer, according to an internal memo reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Burns, who worked at Chobani for several years before leading Juul, will report to the yogurt giant’s founder and CEO, Hamdi Ulukaya. Mr. Burns succeeds Peter McGuinness, who left Chobani last week to become chief executive of plant-based burger maker Impossible Foods Inc.
