Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) today announced the appointment of Kedar Lele, currently Chairman & Managing Director Unilever Bangladesh, to the HUL Management Committee as Executive Director, Customer Development with effect from July 1, 2021. Kedar takes over from Srinandan Sundaram who will move into his new role as Executive Director, Foods & Refreshment.

Kedar joined HUL in 2004 and over the last 17 years demonstrated a strong performance track record across Customer Development, Marketing and General Management.

Sanjiv Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, HUL, said, “I am delighted to welcome Kedar to the HUL Management Committee. Under his leadership, the Bangladesh business made great all-round progress – be it in CD coverage expansion, transformation of our Supply Chain or setting up sustainable models for market development.

I am certain that Kedar will take the HUL Customer Development function to the next level of performance.”
