Nivea, the mass-market personal care brand owned by German group Beiersdorf, has appointed Grita Loebsack as its new global president, starting January 1 2022. “I am convinced that Grita Loebsack will enhance the reputation of Nivea and make it an even more international, digital and eco-friendly brand, inspiring our customers around the world,” said Vincent Warnery, chairman of Beiersdorf’s executive board, who replaced Belgian manager Stefan de Loecker in April.
