Commenting on the transition, Jejurikar acknowledged Moeller’s contribution to the company, saying, “I want to thank Jon for his many years of tireless and steady leadership at P&G. Jon's strategic vision has been instrumental in shaping the company P&G is today, and we have benefited from his unwavering courage and his profound care for this institution and its people.”
With his appointment as Chairman, Jejurikar will lead P&G’s Board in addition to overseeing the company as President and CEO, bringing together the responsibilities of board leadership and executive management.
Jejurikar’s career with P&G spans more than three decades. He joined the company in 1989 and has been part of its global leadership team since 2014. Over the course of his tenure, he has held senior leadership positions across business categories, geographies and functions, gaining extensive experience across the company’s global operations.
