Lou Anne Gent
Lou Anne Gent has 33 years experience in Consumer Insight and Analytics with 30 of those years on the Client side of the business with large, multi national consumer packaged goods companies in progressively more Senior Management positions.
Most recently, she was Vice President of Consumer Insights & Analytics at Nestlé Canada (12.5 years), where she led multiple teams over her tenure including Insight, Analytics, Product Sensory, Consumer Call Centre and Digital. In addition to building and leading her local team, she was a member of Nestlé’s Global Insight Management Committee who was responsible for establishing Nestlé’s Insight best practices, developing and managing global research studies and developing longer term supplier relationships and contracts.
Prior to Nestlé, Lou Anne was the Director of Consumer Insights at Kraft Canada (13.5 years) where she led the local Insight Team and was a member of the Kraft North American Insight Team. In this role, she was involved in helping grow leading brands and supporting the development of a cross category Kraft Corporate strategy through Insight. Prior to Kraft, Lou Anne was Market Research Manager at Procter & Gamble/Richardson-Vicks (3.5 years) and spent three years on the Supplier side (Longwoods Research) where she began her Insight career.
Lou Anne believes that growth and profitability of the Business must be at the core of every Consumer Insight decision and action. This requires a full understanding of the role and goals of the brand, leading edge research techniques to develop a deep understanding of the consumer and a highly skilled multi-disciplined team, including internal functions and external partners, to uncover relevant insights and translate those insights into business building actions.
