EXCLUSIVE: Danone CMO Linda Bethea to Exit as Food Giant Mulls Broader Marketing Changes

Bethea's exit comes amid a major restructuring at the company that folds marketing under the broader leadership team

Linda Bethea, Danone North America’s chief marketing officer, is leaving the business as the French food conglomerate rolls marketing in the U.S. under its broader leadership team in the region, ADWEEK has learned. Her exit comes some three months after a broader management restructuring initiative disclosed in August.

“Danone recently announced a change in the U.S. to a more streamlined U.S. leadership team. As a result, the responsibilities of our U.S. chief marketing officer have been reallocated under the new leadership team,” a Danone North America spokesperson confirmed.

“We want to thank Linda for her service to our company over the last six years and wish her all the best in the future,” the spokesperson added.
