NESTLÉ announced the resignation of CEO Laurent Freixe for failing to disclose a romantic relationship with an employee, violating company policy, Reuters reports.
Following a hotline tip this spring about a possible relationship with a direct subordinate, Freixe denied the allegations during the investigation.
Freixe, a 40-year Nestlé veteran and CEO since 2024, will be succeeded by Philippe Navratil, a former vice president. Freixe will not receive a severance package.
This marks Nestlé’s second CEO resignation within a year. — Wires
