Toni BrendishGUEST
Right, so there were many highlights and it's interesting how some of those challenges at the time don't feel like highlights but you look back on them and they turn out to be that way.

Toni BrendishGUEST
I think one of the things that I really enjoyed about working at Danone was the social mission.

Toni BrendishGUEST
So, you know, to do good whilst you're making products, whilst you're making profit.

Toni BrendishGUEST

Toni BrendishGUEST

Toni BrendishGUEST
And having those values, the intrinsic values that I could then apply in the different businesses that I worked with.

Clare BraundHOST
