C. Perry Yeatman

---

Perry Yeatman is a multi-faceted, high-impact global executive whose career has spanned sectors (business, academia and philanthropy); geographies (America to Asia, Russia to Europe); functions (marketing to fundraising to general management); and world-leading organizations (Kraft Foods and Unilever to WPP and Shandwick plc, to Save the Children and Kellogg School of Management).

Today, Perry is an advisor to CEOs, Board Director and CDO for Save the Children Global Ventures, (SCGV) a Swiss-based non-profit that leverages innovative finance to achieve development goals.

Prior to joining Save the Children and then SCGV, Perry was SVP, Corporate and Government Affairs, at Kraft Foods and President of the Kraft Foods Foundation. During her tenure as President of the Kraft Foods Foundation, Perry streamlined the foundation’s focus and began to leverage the power of the business – vs just philanthropic dollars – to tackle the two sides of malnutrition, namely hunger and obesity, in key markets around the world. While at Kraft, Perry also led the World Economic Forum’s Consumer Community in developing the New Vision for Agriculture. Additionally, she was a key leader in the company’s early work to create Cocoa Life, a multi-faceted program designed to ensure that there would be future generations of cocoa farmers in key markets in Africa and Asia.

Before joining Kraft in 2005, Perry was Vice President, Corporate Affairs, for Unilever North America. She was also a member of the Unilever HPC-NA management board. In this capacity, among other things, Perry led the work to develop Unilever’s first nationwide community partnership with the Girl Scouts of the USA. This partnership focused on girl’s self-esteem – work which later became part of the Dove “real beauty” campaign.

Perry is also an award-winning author of two books focused on helping women achieve their career ambitions, a Board Director and a staunch advocate for women and girls.
