A.G. Lafley
|
A.G. Lafley has rejoined Procter & Gamble as president and chief executive officer, taking over those posts from Robert McDonald, who is retiring next month.
The change, effective immediately, marks a reversal of P&G's previous CEO succession. McDonald had succeeded Lafley as P&G's CEO in July 2009 and then was announced as its chairman in December 2009, taking over from Lafley, who retired from the company early the next year.
"A.G.'s track record and his depth of experience at P&G make him uniquely qualified to lead the company forward at this important time," stated Jim McNerney, presiding director of P&G's board.
