Edgewell Personal Care Names LaTanya Langley Chief People and Legal Officer

Edgewell Personal Care Company has announced changes to its executive team to streamline leadership structure and support the company's strategic objectives.  

 

With the planned departure of John Hill, chief human resources officer, a new role of chief people and legal officer has been created. LaTanya Langley, chief legal officer, will be appointed to the new role effective Nov. 6, 2023. 

 

Hill will remain at Edgewell to transition his responsibilities to Langley through the end of calendar 2023. 

 

“This is an exciting new role for Edgewell, with Human Resources and Legal functions under one capable leader. In her time with the company, LaTanya has displayed strong leadership, an aptitude for elevating and developing her team, and has contributed significant value as a member of the Global Leadership Team,” said Rod Little, Edgewell's president and CEO. “She is a natural leader, who leads with empathy and confidence and is a true ambassador of our corporate culture. LaTanya has stepped up to champion our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs and works with teams to further embed our purpose and values across the organization. I am confident in her readiness and ability to succeed in this role and look forward to all she will achieve with her new team.” 

 

Langley joined Edgewell in 2022 to lead Edgewell's legal matters including overseeing the company's litigation and disputes, intellectual property, contracting, compliance program, and providing legal counsel relating to all regulatory, sales and marketing. Since then, she has organized the legal team for success, embracing Edgewell's People first approach, elevated the leaders on her team, and created growth and development opportunities across the legal disciplines on her team. She is also an executive sponsor of Edgewell's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion programs and of the company's Purpose, Values & Behaviors.
