MUMBAI, JUNE 10
Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) on Tuesday announced changes to its leadership team, effective July 1, 2020. Nisaba Godrej, currently the Executive Chairperson of the company, will take on the additional role of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Vivek Gambhir, GCPL’s current Managing Director and CEO, has resigned for personal reasons and will step down as Managing Director and CEO on June 30, 2020.
Commenting on the changes, Nisaba Godrej said: “I would like to thank the Board for reposing their confidence in me. Humanity is going through difficult times right now and GCPL is committed to doing whatever is necessary to serve its stakeholders and community. I look forward to working closely with our talented team to drive our
company ahead with clarity, hard work, kindness and a strong sense of purpose, to emerge stronger on the other side. I also want to take this opportunity to thank Vivek for his many contributions to Godrej over the past 11 years. Vivek and I have had a strong partnership for over a decade. He is someone who has not only created a lot of value for Godrej, but has also been a wonderful friend and mentor to
me. We wish him much success, health and happiness for the future.”
Vivek Gambhir added: “After 11 fulfilling and wonderful years with Godrej, it is time for me to move on to chart the next phase of my journey. For the past many years, I have been living away from my family and seeing them only on weekends. Recently, I had some health problems that made me think more deeply about my lifestyle. Thankfully, I have fully recovered. I would now like to be able to spend more time with my family. Over the last decade, GCPL has transformed into a leading emerging markets home and personal care company, with ambitious aspirations. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to lead such a fantastic team. I have partnered closely with Nisa over many years, and she been a key architect of GCPL’s growth journey. She has also been an amazing friend. I am sure that under her inspiring and authentic leadership, GCPL will achieve even greater success”.
