Kenvue has appointed Amit Banati as its new Chief Financial Officer, following a comprehensive search process. Banati will oversee the company’s Finance and Strategy functions, taking over from Paul Ruh, who will remain briefly to support a smooth transition. With more than 30 years of experience in the consumer products sector, Banati brings a strong record of delivering profitable growth and managing large-scale business transformations. He has held senior leadership roles at Kellanova, Kraft Foods, Cadbury Schweppes, and Procter & Gamble, and has managed operations across key international markets including Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
As CFO, Banati aims to support Kenvue’s revenue growth through improved data use, better financial forecasting, and enhanced resource allocation. His appointment comes at a time when Kenvue has completed major steps toward becoming an independent company and is focused on accelerating growth across its core areas like Self Care, Skin Health and Beauty, and Essential Health. Kenvue’s Chief Executive Officer Thibaut Mongon highlighted, “With much of the work to establish Kenvue as an independent company completed and our strengthened commercial and operational foundations in place, now is the right time for a CFO transition. Amit is a world-class executive with a proven track record across both financial and operational roles and the ideal person to further support our efforts to work differently and move faster and lead our Finance and Strategy organizations into the future.”
