FMCG major Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) has recently announced management changes at the company’s home care and beauty & personal care divisions. Prabha Narasimhan has been appointed as Executive Director of its Home Care segment as part of a top-level reshuffle within the organisation.
Narasimhan would replace Priya Nair, currently, Executive Director - Home Care who moved as Executive Director - Beauty and Personal Care, HUL said in a statement.
Nair will take over from Sandeep Kohli who will relocate to Dubai as VP – Beauty & Personal Care for our North Africa, Middle East, Turkey and Russia markets, it added.
“Priya Nair will continue to be a member of the HUL Management Committee, and Prabha Narasimhan has joined the Management Committee on February 1, 2020,” the company said.
Nair, who had joined HUL in 1999, had a career spanning of almost 25 years. According to the company, under her leadership, the Home Care category has delivered strong, consistent and competitive growth. She has led our USLP agenda with the ‘HUL Swachh Aadat, Swachh Bharat’ programme, bringing decisive focus to the organisation’s efforts on sustainability.
While Narasimhan had joined HUL in 1999 and has a career spanning two decades, she has worked across businesses and geographies. “In her most recent role, Prabha has been leading the Skin and Colour Cosmetics business where she has delivered consistent and market-beating growth in a highly competitive and fast-growing category,” it said.
Sanjiv Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, HUL, said, “I would like to thank Sandeep for his leadership in growing our Beauty and Personal Care business and wish him the very best for his new role. I look forward to Priya taking the Beauty and Personal Care division to the next level of performance and take this opportunity to thank her for her outstanding contributions to Home Care. And finally, I would like to welcome Prabha to the HUL Management Committee and wish her great success.”
