Chasity Henry Drives Big Deals and Diversity

Chasity Henry has been involved in several large corporate transactions recently, including Dr Pepper Snapple Group’s $1.7 billion cash acquisition of Bai Brands in January 2017 and Kimberly-Clark’s sale in December of its industrial welding and personal protective equipment businesses to Vancouver-based SureWerx.

Despite having no lawyers in her family, Henry has the pedigree of a multigenerational lawyer. She is a 2006 graduate of the University of Texas School of Law who became a corporate transactional lawyer at Vinson & Elkins and was mentored by prominent dealmaker Jeff Chapman. She has been a senior lawyer at three major businesses: Irving-based Vizient (formerly Novation), Dr Pepper Snapple (now Keurig Dr Pepper), and now assistant general counsel at Kimberly-Clark.
