Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ: KMB) announced the organizational structure and leadership team that will take effect following completion of its pending acquisition of Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE). The transaction remains on track to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

The combined company will operate through four business segments: North America with approximately $18.0 billion in annual sales, Asia Pacific Focus Markets generating about $4.3 billion annually, Europe, Middle East, and Africa with roughly $5.0 billion in sales, and Enterprise Markets producing approximately $4.3 billion in annual sales. These figures represent combined net sales for fiscal year 2025, recast to reflect the proposed segment structure.

Mike Hsu will continue as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the merged entity. The leadership structure includes Russ Torres as Group President and Chief Operations Officer, Nelson Urdaneta as Chief Financial Officer, and regional presidents for each business segment.

"Our team was selected after a thorough and thoughtful process and reflects leaders with the right blend of experience, capabilities, and technical expertise to unlock the full potential of our combined portfolio, iconic brands, and talented people," Hsu stated in the announcement.

The Asia Pacific Focus Markets segment will encompass Greater China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Indonesia. The Enterprise Markets division will include Latin America, India, Southeast Asia markets, and Japan.

Torres, who also serves as Head of the Integration Management Office, noted that more than 30 workstreams across the integration team have identified growth and efficiency opportunities for the post-closing period.
