JohnsonDiversey has named former Unilever executive Norman Clubb as its new executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective Jan. 11. Clubb will succeed retiring executive VP and CFO Joseph Smorada.

Clubb served as a JohnsonDiversey director from Feb. 2007-Nov. 2009, serving as an appointee of Unilever NV. Unilever was a one-third shareholder of the company until the Nov. 24, 2009 completion of a recapitalization and equity transaction involving the private equity firm of Clayton Dubilier & Rice, LLC. Unilever retains a warrant to acquire a four percent interest in the company.

Earlier in his career, Clubb served as senior vice president for finance and operations for the Diversey Corporation from 1989-1996. He later held the position of senior vice president for finance and supply chain for DiverseyLever from 1996-1999, the period immediately following Unilever’s acquisition of the Diversey business.

Clubb most recently served as president and chief operating officer for Unilever Food Solutions in North America and Latin America.
