Kartik Chandrasekhar joins Kellanova as Chief Commercial Officer

Kartik Chandrasekhar, a seasoned industry leader, has transitioned to a new role as Chief Commercial Officer - Asia, ANZ, Middle East, and Africa at Kellanova, a US-headquartered multinational corporation formerly known as the Kellogg Company.

Chandrasekhar, known for his distinguished tenure at Unilever, where he held various pivotal positions over the span of more than two decades, has decided to take on this new challenge after departing from Unilever earlier this year. His departure marked the end of a remarkable journey with the company, where he ascended from a management trainee to head critical divisions such as oral care and skin cleansing for D&E markets, and served as a global brand lead for Pepsodent.

Reflecting on his time at Unilever, Chandrasekhar had expressed profound gratitude while leaving his earlier organization, stating: "Unilever welcomed me as a trainee and gave me the opportunity to become the marketer and business leader I am today." He went on to highlight the honor he felt in leading globally renowned brands under Unilever's umbrella, including Ponds, Pepsodent, Signal, Knorr, Pears, and Lifebuoy.

Chandrasekhar's extensive experience and strategic acumen are expected to bring a fresh perspective to Kellanova's operations across the vast territories of Asia, ANZ, Middle East, and Africa. With a track record of steering iconic brands to success, his appointment signals Kellanova's commitment to driving growth and innovation in key markets.

Outside the boardroom, Chandrasekhar is known for his active lifestyle and passion for activities such as swimming, running, and reading. He resides in Singapore with his wife and two children.
