Chantel Baxter

Chantel is a sales operations leader with over two decades of experience at Bridgestone, where she excels at simplifying complexity and driving commercial execution. Colleagues describe her as a dedicated, high-performing, and unflappable leader who is instrumental in building a people-first culture. She holds a Postgraduate Degree from the University of the Witwatersrand.

Outside of work, Chantel is deeply committed to social and environmental causes. She actively participates in community initiatives, including programs that establish food gardens, plant trees in under-resourced areas, and support mobile libraries for children. She is also a proponent of self-development, recently teaching herself Power BI.

Early in her career, she learned a valuable lesson from a mistake: what matters is not the error, but how you fix it.
