Colgate Palmolive India has appointed HUL’s Prabha Narasimhan as Managing Director. Prior to this she was with Hindustan Unilever as the Executive Director with a stint of almost two decades.
Narasimhan mentioned about her new appointment through her LinkedIn post stating, “Everyone deserves a future they can smile about is the core philosophy of the Colgate brand. Today, as I start my new journey with Colgate, this definitely made me smile. Over the last three months I have had the opportunity to travel across 6 different countries and 7 offices to meet and understand this business and its people and it has been an amazing experience. I am now excited and eager to work with the Colgate Palmolive team in India on brands that I have grown up with and a business that is an absolute powerhouse”.
No post of starting would be complete however without a look back at my time with Unilever. I consider myself extremely privileged to have worked for over 2 decades in such a fabulous organisation.”
An alumnus of IIM Bangalore, she had joined Hindustan Unilever as a Regional Marketing Manager in 2006, later on held various leadership roles during her tenure with HUL.
