Unilever said Tuesday that Chief Financial Officer Graeme Pitkethly intends to retire from the company by the end of May 2024.

The Anglo-Dutch multisector retailer--which owns consumer brands such as Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Dove soap and Cif and Domestos cleaning products--said it will now start a formal internal and external search for his successor.

Pitkethly has been part of Unilever for 21 years, initially joining as the group chief accountant, and has been an executive member of the board since April 2016.

"As CFO, [Pitkethly] has brought great leadership to our company and been instrumental in sharpening our strategy and driving a step-up in our operational performance," Chief Executive Alan Jope said.
