HINDUSTAN UNILEVER'S (HUL'S) MD & CEO Priya Nair took to LinkedIn on Friday, her first day in office, to share her thoughts on returning to the company as its leader. Nair, who was previously president of Unilever's nearly $13-billion beauty and wellbeing business, was appointed HUL's chief executive officer in a top-deck reshuffle last month. She had been based in London for the past two years in her Unilever role and recently moved back to Mumbai to take up her new position at HUL.

Describing HUL, which she joined in 1995, as her "alma mater," Nair, 53, said the company was "well poised" to leverage the opportunities India presents and to partner in the nation's growth journey.
