Diageo PLC (LSE:DGE)<\/a> has appointed former Procter & Gamble Beauty chief executive R. Alexandra “Alex” Keith as a non-executive director, adding more than 35 years of international consumer goods experience to its board. <\/p>\n

Keith is expected to join the board on 5 November 2026, subject to shareholder approval at Diageo’s Annual General Meeting. <\/p>\n

Most recently, she served as chief executive of Procter & Gamble’s Beauty business, where she oversaw a major global portfolio and led growth initiatives spanning innovation, acquisitions, portfolio development and organisational transformation. <\/p>\n

Keith brings extensive leadership experience across North America, Europe and Asia, with a background covering general management, consumer products, brand development, supply chain and enterprise leadership. <\/p>\n

Her experience includes building global brands, scaling complex businesses and developing portfolios in response to changing consumer trends. <\/p>\n

Since 2020, Keith has also served as a non-executive director of US-listed life sciences company Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (NYSE:TMO, XETRA:TN8)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Subject to shareholder approval, she will become a member of Diageo’s Remuneration and Nomination Committees from the date she joins the board. <\/p>\n

Diageo chair Sir John Manzoni said Keith’s recent chief executive experience in consumer goods, including leading and transforming branded businesses, would add relevant expertise to the board. <\/p>\n

He highlighted her experience in shaping portfolios around consumer trends, including in the US, as Diageo continues efforts to strengthen its board and improve the competitiveness of the business. <\/p>\n

Manzoni said the appointment formed part of Diageo’s continuing process of building out the board’s expertise to support the company’s transformation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Diageo appoints former P&G Beauty chief R.
