Food and beverage products company Danone has appointed Kathy Cavill as the new GM for Australia and New Zealand.
With over eleven years of experience at Danone, including her most recent role as marketing director, she is the first GM appointed from within the local business, as all other GMs are expats.
Cavill will be succeeding Rodrigo Lima, who has been promoted to president and representative director of Danone Japan & Korea.
Cavill said: “I am honoured to work for a company that is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace, and one which continues to lead the way with policies that anticipate and adapt to the needs of our people.”
Cavill has led campaigns such as the 'Feed the Real' initiative, in partnership with Anne Geddes, and the 'Return Ready' program, both aimed at supporting Australian parents.
