better execution – building on the foundational investments that have been completed as part of our IGNITE strategy,” said
Chair and CEO Linda Rendle. “This refined operating structure will help us move faster and deliver stronger results as we continue
to focus our investment behind faster-growing health and hygiene categories. Chris is a proven leader, with more than two decades of
experience at Clorox, deep operational expertise leading our Cleaning and International businesses, and a strong track record of accelerating
performance. Chris will play a critical role as COO in advancing our strategy and strengthening execution across all our businesses,
while Nina’s deep brand-building expertise will help drive innovation and brand value superiority. Nina brings a strong growth
orientation, passion for the consumer and success with insight-driven category expansion. I look forward to working with Chris and Nina
to drive sustainable, profitable growth and enhanced shareholder value creation that Clorox’s categories, brands and capabilities
are positioned to deliver.”
