LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Consumer products giant Unilever has announced that its chief executive is leaving "by mutual agreement" after just 19 months at the helm.

Chairman Ian Meakins thanked Schumacher "for resetting Unilever's strategy [...] and for the solid financial progress delivered during 2024".

Schumacher will be replaced by Fernando Fernandez, who has been the company's chief financial officer since January 2024.
