About the company
Danone is a French food and health company that reports three product categories and, since 1 January 2026, three geographic zones instead of five. Antoine de Saint-Affrique is Chief Executive Officer; Gilles Schnepp chairs the Board.
The tree draws categories and zones as two separate axes under the CEO, because every category sells in every zone; it does not draw brands or legal entities. Huel is shown because its acquisition was completed on 4 September 2026; the sources do not say which category it belongs to.
How Danone is organized
Essential Dairy & Plant-Based, Waters and Specialized Nutrition are the three product categories. In 2025 Specialized Nutrition grew fastest, helped by Adult Medical Nutrition, and Waters also grew.
From 1 January 2026 the five former geographies were replaced by three zones: Americas, Asia Pacific, and EMEA (Europe, Turkey, Middle East and Africa). Their presidents, Henri Bruxelles, Bruno Chevot and Pablo Perversi, report to Véronique Penchienati-Bosetta, Group Deputy CEO for geographies and categories.
Danone completed its acquisition of Huel on 4 September 2026, consolidated from 1 September 2026, as part of extending its portfolio in functional nutrition. The CEO and Chairman are different people, and the Deputy CEO is not drawn as a box because only the root is a person.
