Antonia Wanner will step into her new position effective September 1.
The board of directors for Nestlé, maker of chocolate and other candies, has appointed Antonia Wanner, currently chief sustainability officer, as chief communications and sustainability officer and a member of the group executive board, effective September 1.
Wanner joined Nestlé in Germany in 1996 as an in-house lawyer and has since held senior leadership positions in procurement, sales, and sustainability.
Philipp Navratil, CEO of Nestlé, comments: “Antonia will make Corporate Communications an even stronger driver of business impact, closely aligned with our strategic priorities and focused on disciplined execution. Bringing Corporate Communications and Sustainability closer together will strengthen credible stakeholder engagement and support long-term value creation. Lisa Gibby, chief communications officer, has decided to return to the U.S. after six years in the role. I thank her for her leadership and important contributions.”
