Hindustan Unilever (HUL) announced on July 10, 2025, the appointment of Priya Nair as its new Managing Director and CEO, effective August 1. Nair will serve a five-year term, replacing Rohit Jawa.
Nair currently serves as President of Unilever's beauty and wellbeing business, overseeing a €13 billion ($15.19 billion) division. Her appointment is seen as a strategic move to leverage her strong track record in a key growth area.
This leadership change in a critical emerging market subsidiary aligns with Unilever's global strategy to focus on its Beauty & Wellbeing segment. Analysts anticipate a potential strategy refresh under Nair to reignite growth amidst slower consumer spending and intense competition in India.
