Danone SA said Thursday that it has named a chief operations officer along with two other new executives.

Vikram Agarwal joins Danone this month as COO, in charge of cycles, procurement, manufacturing and supply after a "33-year international career leading procurement, manufacturing and supply chain functions in consumer goods," the French food company said.

Isabelle Esser is appointed chief research, innovation, quality and food safety officer as of April, while Henri Bruxelles--currently COO of end-to-end design to delivery at the company--becomes chief sustainability, and strategic business development officer this month, Danone said.
