SHELTON, Conn.,
Oct. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Edgewell Personal Care
Company (NYSE: EPC) today announced changes to its executive
team to streamline leadership structure and support the company's
strategic objectives. With the planned departure of John Hill,
Chief Human Resources Officer, a new role of Chief People and Legal
Officer has been created. LaTanya
Langley, Chief Legal Officer, will be appointed to the new
role effective November 6, 2023.
Rod Little, Edgewell's President
and Chief Executive Officer said, "This is an exciting new role for
Edgewell, with Human Resources and Legal functions under one
capable leader. In her time with the company, LaTanya has displayed
strong leadership, an aptitude for elevating and developing her
team, and has contributed significant value as a member of the
Global Leadership Team. She is a natural leader, who leads with
empathy and confidence and is a true ambassador of our corporate
culture. LaTanya has stepped up to champion our Diversity, Equity
and Inclusion programs and works with teams to further embed our
purpose and values across the organization. I am confident in her
readiness and ability to succeed in this role and look forward to
all she will achieve with her new team."
Langley joined Edgewell in 2022 to lead Edgewell's legal matters
including overseeing the company's litigation and disputes,
intellectual property, contracting, compliance program, and
providing legal counsel relating to all regulatory, sales and
marketing. Since then, she has organized the legal team for
success, embracing Edgewell's People first approach, elevated the
leaders on her team, and created growth and development
opportunities across the legal disciplines on her team. She is also
an executive sponsor of Edgewell's Diversity, Equity &
Inclusion (DEI) programs and of the company's Purpose, Values &
Behaviors.
As a result of this new role, John
Hill, Chief Human Resources Officer, will be moving on to
other opportunities. Speaking to his departure, Little said, "I
also want to sincerely thank John for his countless significant
contributions to the Company over the past 25 years. Through his
senior leadership roles in Commercial, General Management and now,
HR, John was instrumental in the success of nearly every major
strategic initiative since Edgewell became an independent company
in 2015. His empathetic leadership, strategic thinking, and overall
positive attitude will be missed at Edgewell and we wish him all
the best in his next chapter."
After being named CHRO in 2018, Hill leveraged his more than 30
years of business, management and cross-functional leadership to
develop a bold, modern people first strategy that empowers
Edgewell's employees to deliver on the company's corporate
strategic plan. He supported the company's world-class response to
the unprecedented environment of COVID-19 and deployed proactive,
people-first policies that increased employee engagement during
some of the toughest times, organizationally, in history.
Hill will remain at Edgewell to transition his responsibilities
to Langley through the end of calendar 2023.
