Stacey Tank 

Chief Corporate Affairs & Transformation Officer 
Heineken 
Netherlands 

 

 

After five years as Home Depot’s chief communications officer, Stacey Tank returned to Heineken in early 2020 as chief corporate affairs and transformation officer. As a direct report to the CEO and member of the executive committee, Tank shepherds the company's new growth strategy, "EverGreen," including originating a new global transformation function. In addition, Tank is responsible for the company's stepped-up sustainability and ESG vision including its new Sustainability & Responsibility Supervisory Board committee. She oversees global communications and public affairs as well, all reflecting the experience she has accumulated across culture and innovation.

At Home Depot, for example, Tank led the exit of four unprofitable lines of business and quickly returned the remaining businesses to double-digit growth while instilling a strong values-based culture and robust innovation pipeline. She has overseen major movements at her previous roles too, most notably during the decade she spent at GE, where her roles spanned finance, audit and marketing communications.
