He has led diverse global teams across finance and supply chain roles in Mumbai, London, Singapore, and Switzerland.
“I look forward to leading this incredible company. Over the past eight years, I have grown to know and love its iconic brands. I thank Adrian for his immense contributions and wish him well in his next innings,” said Balaji.
