“Thomas Kunz was a natural choice. With more than 20 years’ experience at Danone in Germany, Mexico, Argentina and the United States, including in particular our fresh dairy product business, Thomas knows both our products and markets inside out. With admirable focus, he has spearheaded the transformation of our Waters division and will now be putting all his talent to work to develop business in our Fresh Dairy Products division. He will be replaced in his current position by Francisco Camacho. After making a decisive contribution to the success of our Bonafont brand in Mexico, Francisco has in recent years led the growth of our Fresh Dairy Products in Latin America. He brings to this new position his in-depth knowledge of emerging markets, markets that today account for over half of the Waters division’s sales. Finally, as Jordi Constans takes his leave, I would like to thank him for his many contributions to the growth of the Fresh Dairy Products division’s leading brands for over 20 years”.
