Edgewell Personal Care Streamlines Leadership and Organizational Structure

Edgewell Personal Care Company has made organizational changes to streamline its leadership structure to support company growth, the maker of Schick razors and Banana Boat sunscreen announced on Sept. 15.

With the planned departure of Nick Powell, president of international, responsibilities for Edgewell's international business will be split between Rod Little, president and CEO, and Dan Sullivan, who will add the role of president Europe and Latin America to his CFO duties.

As a part of these leadership changes, Little will lead the Japan and Greater China markets, and Sullivan will lead Europe, Latin America, Oceania and Distributor markets as well as the international brand strategy group, effective Oct. 1, 2022.

Edgewell was ranked No. 26 in Happi's 2022 Top 50 Report.

“The transformation plan that we embarked upon almost two years ago is successfully underway, enabled by our focused execution against our key strategic priorities, including structurally simplifying our operating model and driving sustainable growth. These organizational changes further flatten the leadership structure at Edgewell, supporting greater agility and faster speed to market. I believe this will fortify our leadership position in men's and women's shave in key markets like Japan and provide the necessary foundation for sustainable growth across our international business,” said Little in a statement.

Powell had been with the company for 18 years.

“During this time, he has been a true ambassador of our culture, purpose and values. I'm grateful for the role he played in organically growing our international business and strengthening our market positions over his long tenure with the company and wish him well in his future endeavors,” noted Little.

These changes will not impact Edgewell's business in North America. Eric O'Toole, president of North America, will continue to lead the North America business unit structure and will have increased responsibility as the firm integrates indie razor brand Billie into its operations.
