Hymermarcas has struggled in recent years, culminating in the sale of some of its assets in 2011. In an attempt to get back on track, the company created a strategic plan that includes the addition of Fischer to promote a sustainable and profitable growth.
German-born Fischer has spent 17 years in Latin America. He was president of Wella Chile and CFO of Procter & Gamble. From 1996 to 2001, he was CFO of Nivea Brasil and later became its president. He gained popularity for having doubled Nivea Brasil’s sales in five years. Until a replacement is named, Nivea’s operations will be run by financial director Ricardo Basque.
