Kenvue has appointed Amit Banati as the new Chief Financial Officer, effective May 12, 2025. Banati will succeed Paul Ruh, who will remain with the company for a brief period to help ensure a smooth transition.

He will oversee the Finance and Strategy functions, support initiatives aimed at accelerating profitable growth, and deliver value to shareholders.

Thibaut Mongon, Chief Executive Officer, said, 

“We are thrilled to welcome Amit to Kenvue and look forward to leveraging his deep industry expertise and business transformation experience as we continue to focus on accelerating Kenvue’s profitable growth and delivering value for shareholders. 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.”

Banati is a 30-year consumer products company finance and operations veteran.

He served most recently as Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Kellanova (previously Kellogg Company), and holding finance and operating leadership roles at Kraft Foods (now Mondelez International), Cadbury Schweppes, and Procter & Gamble. 

He has significant experience overseeing operations outside the U.S., including in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, India, and Africa, and has successfully delivered profitable growth and executed enterprise-wide business transformations.

Banati said, 

“My focus as CFO will be supporting revenue growth through stronger data management and resource allocation, driving continued margin and cost profile improvement efforts, strengthening cash flow, and fostering greater agility, including better integrated business planning and improved financial forecasting. With the talented Kenvuers around the world, we can maximize benefits of the Company’s increased brand investments and accelerate growth across Self Care, Skin Health and Beauty, and Essential Health to create sustainable value for shareholders.”
