Valérie Hernando-Presse
global CMO | Danone
Under Hernando-Presse’s leadership, Danone united the international food
company’s thousands of marketers under a portfolio of over 100 wide-ranging
brands, from plant-based products to specialized nutrition. She also brought
Danone together to reframe and strategize its vision of “One Planet. One
Health,” as it innovated to become part of a healthier world.
What’s more, Hernando-Presse has initiated new consumer research techniques and oversaw the
creation of The Collective, Danone’s international marketing community. Her forward thinking and
ideation fit into the broader organization’s commitment to establishing solutions for food trends that
are yet to come, like research into infants’ immune system development. —Sara Jerde
