Danone appoints two in fresh and baby nutrition

The following appointments have been announced and will take effect from January at Danone: Jordi Constans is named executive vice president of the fresh dairy products division, and Felix Martin is now executive vice president of the baby nutrition division. Constans and Martin were previously co-executive vice presidents of the fresh dairy products division and members of the executive committee. Both report to Bernard Hours, co-chief operating officer of Danone.

Danone CEO Franck Riboud says: “On behalf of the Executive Committee of Danone and myself, I wish to thank Christian Neu for his decisive contribution to our performance since joining Danone in 1986. The past three years have been particularly striking, as he effectively and successfully spearheaded the integration of our new Baby Nutrition division while accelerating its performance. In his new consulting activities, Christian will naturally remain in close contact with Danone, in particular as advisor to the senior management on specific missions.
The appointments of Jordi Constans and Felix Martin, who have already amply demonstrated their expertise in rich and varied career paths within Danone, reflect the continuity of our operations and our commitment to pursuing the accelerated development of our business.”
