S ol Daurella is a powerful Spanish businesswoman and the chairwoman of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), the world's largest independent bottler of Coca-Cola products by revenue.

Sol Daurella has been the chief architect of a series of massive, transformational mergers. She orchestrated the complex deal that combined her family's Spanish bottling operation, Coca-Cola Iberian Partners, with the German bottler and another European bottler to form Coca-Cola European Partners in 2016. She then oversaw the acquisition of the Australian bottler, Coca-Cola Amatil, creating the current entity, CCEP. As chairwoman of this publicly traded behemoth, she is one of the most powerful and influential women in the global beverage industry. Her family's substantial stake in the company is the source of her multi-billion dollar fortune.
