(1888PressRelease) June 07, 2012 - Hyderabad - The Germany-headquartered FMCG global major Henkel AG & Co. KGaA has appointed Mr. Jeremy Hunter as President of the Henkel group in India with the responsibility for the consolidation, reorganization and growth of Henkel's India operations. With a total experience of 20 years in the industry, Mr. Hunter relocated to India and took charge of this position after the company decided to divest their Indian FMCG division and focus on the adhesives and cosmetics businesses.

Mr. Hunter joined Henkel in 2002 when it acquired Sellotape, New Zealand where he was the General Manager. He has vast experience working across regions including United Kingdom, Portugal and Turkey. He has also handled projects in Iran and the former Soviet Union. Before joining Henkel, he gained rich experience with Coats Viyella, SC Johnson and GlaxoSmithKline. Prior to his current position in India, Jeremy Hunter was the Country Manager of Australia and New Zealand for Henkel Adhesives business. During his tenure, he led the business through major restructuring with focus on profitability and sustainability during the challenges of the global financial crisis.

Commenting on his new role within the Henkel Group, Mr. Hunter said "Within India, we are in the midst of consolidating our core efficiencies and businesses to make a constructive difference to the market. Henkel's long association with India since 1987 has helped us to create a foothold for ourselves among the general masses. With our fresh insights and contributions we look forward to growing rapidly and creating a value based relationship with our Indian customers that impacts the society at large. The business plan for Henkel in India is to focus on closer cooperation with our customers, enhance our service capability and to achieve our full business potential."

A manager, who can deal both with people as well as the numbers, he believes in creating an environment where people can excel. A strong 'customer and employee first' philosophy will be the core driver for Henkel India's new Group President. The strategic addition of Mr. Hunter with his diverse global experience in the Middle East, Europe and the Asia Pacific, combined with his strong sales expertise, will help Henkel India to deliver on its vision and commitment.

An Englishman, Jeremy Hunter is fluent in Portuguese and holds a degree in Politics and Modern History from the University of Manchester.
