Congratulations to Valerie Henninger, Managing Director, Strategic Planning, on being named one of HERoes 100 Women Future Leaders from the 2021 HERoes Women Role Model Lists!
Supported by Yahoo Finance, the HERoes Women Role Model Lists celebrate leaders who are championing women in business and driving change for gender diversity in the workplace. Honorees have achieved success in their own careers and actively used their platform to create a more diverse and inclusive business environment for women.
Valerie brings more than 12 years of experience across digital, marketing and advertising, specialized in creating brand experience and cross-channel media strategies to deliver business growth for Fortune 500 companies.
Valerie’s work with General Mills and her team at Mindshare has resulted in programs that drive diversity and women's empowerment across the media industry and society at large. In the past year and a half, their work won in the Multicultural and Social Good categories at the MMA's Smarties, Best Engagement Strategy at the Festival of Global Media North America and was shortlisted for the Inclusive Campaign of the Year category at the Festival of Media Global.
Within the agency, Valerie spearheads innovative ways to keep leaders across different teams better connected, and uplifting future women leaders across the office. She also personally mentors and guides junior-level women in their careers at the agency, developing and implementing plans to help them succeed.
This is the second consecutive year that Mindshare has had a winner on the HERoes Women Role Model Lists. In 2020, Michelle Morgan, Associate Media Director, was also recognized on the HERoes 100 Women Future Leaders List.
