Procter & Gamble has named Neal Reed as SVP and managing director for Australia and New Zealand.
Reed will succeed Kumar Venkatasubramanian, who is returning to India to head up P&G India.
Reed started at P&G as an account representative in the UK more than 28 years ago. He spent 14 years in sales across the UK, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. He also led Fabric Care Europe before moving to Japan in 2016.
Prior to his new appointment, Reed served as SVP of Oral Care in Greater China.
“I want to thank Kumar for his strong leadership of the ANZ organisation,” said Stanislav Vecera, P&G president for Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. “I know he will continue to excel in his newly appointed role to lead P&G India.
“I am thrilled with Neal’s appointment as SVP and MD for Australia and New Zealand. He brings a wealth of knowledge and global experience that will build the organisation and support strong business results.”
