Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) today announced that Rohit Jawa will take over as the new Managing Director & CEO of HUL from June 27, and will join the company as CEO designate and whole-time director from April 1.

Rohit will also take over as President, Unilever South Asia. He will join the Unilever Leadership Executive (ULE) effective April 1.

He started his career with HUL as a management trainee in 1988 and has a proven track record of sustained business results across India, South East Asia, and North Asia.
