Leadership move reinforces company’s push to scale digital capabilities and data-driven operations

Unilever announces Reema Jain as the new Chief Information Officer, symbolizing a strategic move forward, accompanied by a nod to a popular product, Hellmann’s Mayonnaise.

Unilever has appointed Reema Jain as Chief Information Officer, strengthening its leadership bench as the company continues to scale its digital and data capabilities globally.

Jain will oversee Unilever’s technology strategy, including IT infrastructure, data systems, and digital transformation initiatives across the organization. Her role will be critical in enabling more connected, efficient, and data-driven operations as the company navigates an increasingly complex and competitive market.

With a strong background in technology leadership, Jain is expected to drive initiatives that enhance agility, improve decision-making, and support innovation across Unilever’s global portfolio of brands.

The appointment reflects a broader trend across CPG, where CIO roles are evolving into strategic positions that directly impact business performance, not just backend operations.
