Mumbai: In the Unilever new organizational model that focuses on the category of the region, Sanjiv Mehta maintains its executive leadership about Hindustan Unilever (Hul) along with its role in Unilever’s leadership executive.
Mehta also continues as President – South Asia, because India is among the three main priority markets for Unilever, and Hul is an entity that is registered.
On Tuesday, Unilever said he would move from the current matrix structure and would be held around five different business groups – beauty & well-being, personal care, home care, nutrition, and ice cream.
Each business group will be fully responsible and responsible for their global strategy, growth and profits.
Because the focus moves away from the area, the need to COO with P & L’s responsibilities for all markets – post made in 2011 with Harish Manwani as the first coo – now becomes excessive.
Nitin Paranjpe, who is currently COO Unilever, will take a new role as the Chief Transformation Officer and Chief People Officer, where it will lead business transformation and head of HR function.
Leena Nair, who previously led people functioning as Chro Unilever, proceeded to lead Chanel as CEO.
In a statement, UNILEVER CEO Alan Jope said, “Our new organizational model has been developed over the past year and is designed to continue the steps we see in our business performance.
Moving to five business groups that focus on the category will enable us to be more responsive against consumer trends and channels, with clear crystal accountability for shipping.
growth remains a top priority and this change will support our pursuit of this.
“A spokesman Hul said,” We will continue to have the Executive Leadership of Sanjiv Mehta, CMD, at under the supervision and guidance of the Hul council.
We have mutually beneficial and mutually dependent relationships with the Unilever group, bring the best trends, innovation, and ability to the Indian market.
We will continue to utilize this organizational structure to serve our customers and customers better.
Change, If there is, it will be announced in time.
“Destination A is to allow Unilever to benefit from the scale and its global abilities.
The proposed new organizational model will result in a reduction in senior management roles of around 15% and more junior management roles of 5%, equivalent to around 1,500 roles globally.
Jope recently draws some leaves from parts of investors who feel Unilever focus more on purpose and less than profits.
Jope also received criticism for repeated efforts to acquire the GSK Consumer Division.
