SKILLMAN, N.J. — Amanda Coussoule joined Kenvue as chief customer officer for the U.S. in November, bringing with her a career shaped by leadership, adaptability and a deep understanding of consumer and customer dynamics. A West Point graduate and former Transportation Corps officer in the U.S. Army, Coussoule credits her military experience with serving as the foundation of her leadership philosophy. “That was really the crucible of where I learned what it meant to be a selfless leader,” she says.
Since joining the consumer packaged goods industry, she has held a series of roles at leading companies, where she gained firsthand experience navigating complex business landscapes. Coussoule joined Kraft Heinz just months before its landmark merger, giving her a front-row seat to one of the industry’s most significant transformations. Later, as Kimberly-Clark’s Walmart and Sam’s Club team leader, her Sam’s Club team earned the prestigious Supplier of the Year award.
Now at Kenvue, Coussoule oversees the U.S. sales organization, leading a team responsible for driving sales and fostering relationships with customers and brokers. She has a key role on Kenvue’s North American leadership team, bringing an external, customer-focused perspective to strategic decision making.
Coussoule is passionate about forging strong customer partnerships that drive mutual, long-term growth. In her first months, she has focused on understanding customer needs and creating solutions that benefit both parties. She also embraces the challenge of leading a newly independent Kenvue.
“A division of a very large company has now become a stand-alone company, and it really supports, encourages and drives a growth mindset when you fully own the outcomes of the entire enterprise,” she says. “That’s what gets me out of bed every day.”
