Nivea India has announced the return of Sunil Gadgil as Marketing Director, along with the appointment of Ashish Joshi as its new Sales Director.
Gadgil has over 12 years of experience with Beiersdorf in various global and local roles. From 2017 to 2020, he led Beiersdorf's business in Ukraine, and since November 2020, has served as the Director of the biggest Nivea category - Body and All-Purpose Cream, gaining marketing experience and expertise in the global skincare market.
After multiple stints across the European region, Gadgil is returning to India and will contribute to Nivea’s success and further strengthen its position.
Gadgil added, "I am thrilled to be returning to Nivea India, it feels like returning to where it all started. With my prior experience in the region, and my exposure to the global skincare market as Global Marketing Director at Beiersdorf, I am excited to combine the best of both worlds and contribute to the brand's continued success in India."
On the other hand, Joshi brings with him an overall experience of 16 years and started his Nivea India journey in 2016. During his tenure thus far, he has held senior sales assignments that involved leading multiple channels across the country.
He drove business agendas across the channels and led the digitisation journey of the sales organisation.
Joshi said, "Drawing on my extensive and in-depth knowledge of the Sales function, I am eager to bring renewed energy and vigour to the team, and to collaborate closely to achieve our ambitious growth targets. I am confident that, together with our workforce as well as trade partners, we can build on the brand's strong foundation and drive growth to new heights."
