Reckitt chief executive Laxman Narasimhan is to step down at the end of the month.
Personal and family reasons have been cited as the reasoning behind a decision to relocate back to the US, having been approached with an opportunity that allows such a move. It follows a remarkable three years that saw the company play a vital role through Covid, with Dettol held up as a hero product.
He will be replaced by Nicandro Durante, current senior independent director, as the board evaluates and selects the future leadership.
