Newell Brands

Congratulations to our Chief Marketing Officer, Melanie Huet, for being named the American Marketing Association Atlanta Chapter’s Marketer of the Year! In 2024, she led the establishment of a consumer-first, Global Brand Management organization for our top 25 brands, reinforcing our commitment to investing in innovation and consumer understanding. Under her guidance over the past year, we reinvented our consumer insights function—embedding proprietary insights throughout the innovation process and refining our new product development funnel to focus on margin-accretive, mid-price and high-price segments. This approach has strengthened our innovation pipeline and enables us to be better partners to our retail customers and better serve consumers by addressing their unmet needs. Beyond her contributions at Newell Brands, Melanie is a thought leader in the marketing industry, actively sharing her expertise through speaking engagements and industry forums. Her passion for marketing, talent development, and high-performance culture continues to inspire teams both within our organization and across the industry.

Thank you and congratulations, Clayton!

We’re excited to share another winner from our 2024 CEO Awards program, which uses peer nominations and several rounds of judging to celebrate five employees who drive meaningful impact and consistently demonstrate our values of leadership, passion for winning, integrity, ownership and teamwork while delivering exceptional work.

In his role, Kazuo led a highly complex #OneNewell distribution project in Tokyo, significantly improving service to customers and supporting our growth in Japan. He facilitated a cross-functional team, including sales, marketing, IT, customer service, and supply chain, to integrate complex operations and drive multiple cost reductions that led to margin improvement and improved efficiencies in Japan.
