Jason Goldberger has been appointed as chief executive officer of Dollar Shave Club (DSC) effective Jan. 19, 2021. Michael Dubin, who founded DSC in 2011, previously informed the board of his decision to step down from his role as CEO and will remain with the company as a special advisor and board member.
Goldberger will report to Fabian Garcia, president Unilever North America and will be part of the beauty and personal care organization. Sunny Jain, president of Unilever Beauty & Personal Care globally will continue to chair the DSC Board.
Unilever acquired Dollare Shave in 2016.
“When Michael approached the board with his intent to transition after a decade of leading the company, we collectively agreed we wouldn't proceed until both the right candidate came forward and the business was poised for breakout expansion into omnichannel,” said Jain. “Today, we are there. Jason is a proven leader and experienced CEO who has demonstrated a strong track record leading brands and driving growth and the business is on an exciting upward trajectory. I couldn't be more confident in the future of Dollar Shave Club than I am right now.”

Jain thanked Dubin for his leadership building a category-defining business.
“We look forward to continuing our partnership with him as an advisor and board member, and we are pleased Jason has agreed to take on the role of CEO and lead its next chapter,’ Jain said.
Goldberger joins DSC as the company rolls out omnichannel distribution; razor, shave aids and skin care products in a new brand redesign are hitting shelves at mass, drugstore and grocery retailers this month.
Goldberger brings with him a wealth of digital as well as retail experience hailing from his leadership positions at Sur La Table where he most recently served as CEO, Blue Nile, Target, Gilt and Amazon.
