Hefner joins Kraft Heinz from Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (“AB
InBev”), where she most recently served as Senior Vice President of
Strategy & Insights. During her tenure, Hefner was a driving
force behind establishing long-term company goals, creating a
focused portfolio strategy, addressing brand renovation, and
delivering an aggressive innovation agenda. As the architect of AB
InBev’s first internal research and Agile agency, Hefner introduced
new capabilities and an Agile approach to innovation that resulted
in the company successfully rebalancing its brand portfolio and
capturing the largest share of innovation in the industry. During
her eight years with the company, she held various leadership
positions in insights, marketing, and digital. Prior to AB InBev,
Hefner spent more than eight years as a services and consumer
products strategy consultant and co-founded a data analytics tech
startup. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from
Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica and a master’s degree in
Product Innovation & Business from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology Sloan School of Management.
Hefner is a sought-after leader who is expected to bring the
strategic planning, processes, and digital capabilities required to
fully unleash Kraft Heinz’s scale + agility vision in its new North
America Zone. Additionally, she will be responsible for leading an
Agile Center of Excellence for the North America Zone, which will
include dynamic resource allocation, prioritization of Agile team
deployment across functions, and management of the Zone’s digital
resources. She will serve as a key member of the North America
Leadership Team and report directly to Carlos Abrams-Rivera,
Executive Vice President & President, North America at Kraft
Heinz.
“We are thrilled to have Dafne Hefner join Kraft Heinz as our
Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer for our newly formed
North America Zone,” said Abrams-Rivera. “Dafne brings a tremendous
amount of leadership and experience to the critical areas we’ve
been building since late 2020, including digital, innovation, and
insights. Her proven ability to translate strategy into action, and
effectively leverage Agile methodologies and teams at scale, will
help us deliver a best-in-class innovation agenda, operations plan,
and go-to-market approach.”
Since 2020, Kraft Heinz has taken multiple steps to transform
its overall growth profile, strategic focus, and financial
flexibility, including divesting certain assets in its global
cheese and nuts businesses. The Company has also centered its
business around a consumer-first approach, significantly investing
in its portfolio, people, digital solutions, and customer
relationships. Hefner is one of several senior leaders Kraft Heinz
has brought on to its U.S. and Canada Leadership Teams in the last
two years in an effort to add industry-leading expertise and new
capabilities in critical areas such as commercialization,
marketing, sales, insights, research & development, human
resources, and communications.
In December 2021, the Company announced its intention to create
a North America Zone by combining its U.S. and Canada businesses, a
move aimed at advancing the global food and beverage leader’s
long-term, sustainable growth plans. The North America Zone will
begin structural transitions in early 2022, with full
organizational and financial reporting changes expected to take
effect at the start of its second fiscal quarter this year.
