Thierry Antinori, Executive Vice President Sales Lufthansa AG, Simon Clift, CMO Unilever, and Jacques-Antoine Granjon, CEO vente-privee.com, are this year’s winners of the CMO of the Year 2009 awards. A top-ranking international jury comprising representatives from business, the media and the academic world selected these three exceptional heads of marketing, and they received their awards at a gala evening in Frankfurt on November 20, 2009.

This is the fourth year that international strategy consultancy Booz & Company has awarded the prize. The ‘CMO of the Year’ award highlights outstanding marketing performances that have made a vital contribution to a company’s success, and underlines the growing importance of strategically-oriented, innovative marketing.

Gregor Harter, jury member and partner with Booz & Company, commented: “The prize-winners this year reflect both the strategic importance of, and also the wide-ranging options for, visionary marketing management. The right strategic approach, combined with consistent implementation, is every bit as vital to success for an established major company group as it is for a start-up.”
