Edgewell Personal Care Company, home to brands such as Schick, Billie, Edge, Skintimate, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, Bulldog, Jack Black, Cremo and more, has announced that Dan Sullivan, its chief operating officer, will be departing the company on October 1, 2025, to pursue a new opportunity.
The company has decided not to fill the COO position. Instead, Edgewell will adopt a regional hub structure to reportedly improve accountability and speed up decision-making.
The new structure will include four key regional hubs–North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America–all of which will report directly to the CEO. Additionally, the chief financial officer and chief supply chain officer will continue to play key roles within the streamlined leadership team.
Rod Little, president and CEO, said, "I appreciate Dan's leadership and the many contributions he has made during his tenure at Edgewell. Dan played a key role in re-architecting Edgewell's growth strategy and helped scale the business while enhancing the organization's focus on brand development, execution and financial performance. This helped to solidify a foundation where we can continue to grow and drive efficiency in our operations. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
Little continued, "We have a world-class team in place executing across our international business, supply chain operations and driving consumer-centric innovation. We also now have the leadership team and organizational structure in place to improve performance in North America. We are elevating critical regional leaders, removing layers from the organization and creating a more agile, responsive organization that can move faster in today's dynamic marketplace. We are firmly committed to maintaining our operational excellence and better positioning the company for sustainable, long-term growth."
