Unilever Expected To Appoint Leena Nair As Global HR Boss, Reports Say

Unilever is reportedly set to announce the appointment of Leena Nair as its global chief human resources manager. Should the appointment become final, Nair would replace Douglas Baillie, highlighting a growing trend among the world’s top multinationals of grooming Indians as their global HR managers. Since joining Hindustan Unilever as a summer trainee in 1992, Nair has made a number of significant achievements, including becoming one of the first women managers to choose a factory stint, becoming the first woman on HUL’s management committee, and the company’s youngest executive director eight years ago.
