Leadership Change at Nestle Skin Health - Drug Discovery and Development

Humberto Antunes, Nestlé Skin Health CEO, has decided to give a new direction to his career and will leave Nestlé at the end of October 2016. Humberto Antunes joined Galderma in 1997, took over the leadership of Galderma’s worldwide operations in 2004 and finally became Nestlé Skin Health CEO in 2014. During this period the company became a global player in dermatology. Nestlé thanks Humberto Antunes for his contribution and wishes him every success in his new activities.

Paul Navarre is joining Nestlé and will take over from Humberto Antunes as Nestlé Skin HealthCEO on 1 November 2016. Paul Navarre is a French national with an MBA from the ISC Paris Business School who started his career with Procter & Gamble where he spent 15 years in different countries and positions involving both consumer goods and healthcare. He then joined Allergan, a global pharmaceutical company, in 2007 where, after various leadership roles over a period of 10 years, he most recently was President of Allergan International.

Paul Navarre’s consumer goods and healthcare background, his extensive international career and proven leadership skills make him ideally suited to take Nestlé Skin Health to the next level by further pursuing its strategy covering consumer solutions and self-medication, prescription as well as aesthetic and corrective products.
