Leaders in Communications: Stacey Tank ’02 of Heineken

People, Planet and Purpose: Creating Global Corporate Transformation

Join alumna Stacey Tank ’02 for a lively discussion on the corporate social responsibilities of one of the world’s most recognizable brands, Heineken. As the chief transformation and corporate affairs officer, Tank leads the company’s “EverGreen” growth strategy to ensure that Heineken leads with purpose and values. Prior to her current role at the Amsterdam-based company, Tank served as senior vice president for Heineken USA.

In this conversation moderated by Brad Horn, associate dean of strategic initiatives, Tank will discuss her passion for business and positive societal impact, expanding on her previous work with General Electric and The Home Depot where she led the multi-billion dollar Home Depot Installation and Measurement Service businesses.

While offering an in-depth look into the changing global landscape of business through communications, Tank will also demonstrate how public relations and a strong commitment to social responsibility can be transformative for major global corporations.
