Priya Nair Named First Woman CEO of HUL

News summary

Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) announced that Priya Nair, currently president of Unilever’s beauty and wellbeing division, will become the new Managing Director and CEO effective August 1, 2025, succeeding Rohit Jawa, who will step down before completing his five-year term. Nair will be the first woman to lead the company, bringing 30 years of experience at HUL and significant global exposure. The transition occurs as HUL faces sluggish growth amid tepid urban demand and rising competition from digital-first brands and new shopping channels. Analysts view Nair’s appointment as a positive and potentially aggressive move to revive growth, though a full turnaround may take time. The news led to a nearly 4% increase in HUL's share price, demonstrating investor optimism. Nair’s appointment is subject to shareholder and statutory approvals.
