London (ots/PRNewswire) - Clayton, Dubilier & Rice ("CD&R" or the
"Firm") today announced the appointment of Sir Dave Lewis as an
Operating Advisor to CD&R funds. He will draw on his more than 30
years of leadership experience within the global Consumer Goods and
Retail sectors to support the Firm in identifying and evaluating new
investment opportunities, as well as supporting its portfolio
companies across Europe.
Sir Dave is currently the Chair of the consumer health company
Haleon, guiding its spinoff from GSK, and also sits on the board of
food and snack multinational PepsiCo. Prior to this, Sir Dave spent
the majority of his career at consumer goods giant Unilever,
beginning as a graduate trainee and rising to join the Global
Executive Team, first as President Americas and then as Global
President for Personal Care. An international executive, he spent 28
years with the company.
From 2014 to 2020 Sir Dave was the Chief Executive Officer of Tesco
where he led the recovery of its strong market position. In addition
to substantial operational performance improvement, significant
corporate repositioning took place including the divestments of
businesses in Korea and Thailand. In the UK, Tesco completed a £3.7bn
merger with the UK's biggest wholesaler, Booker, to create a retail
and wholesale powerhouse.
Dave Novak, CD&R Co-President said, "Dave is an exceptional executive
and highly respected leader. His reputation for innovation, value
creation and growth is outstanding. I believe his knowledge and
experience, built up over three decades, will be of great value to
CD&R funds as we consider new investments and continue to build
stronger, more sustainable businesses across Europe."
CD&R Partner Marco Herbst said, "Dave shares our belief in the
European consumer. The depth of his operational expertise, combined
with the Firm's experience in working collaboratively with management
teams and families to build successful businesses will, I believe, be
transformative for many of the companies we invest in and grow. We
are delighted to welcome him as an Operating Advisor to CD&R funds
and to work with him in the years to come."
Sir Dave Lewis said, "I believe the depth of CD&R's operating and
investment expertise across the Consumer Goods, Retail, and other
sectors in Europe to be incredibly strong. I look forward to working
with CD&R's investment and operating teams, as well as the management
teams of the Firm's portfolio companies to identify investment
opportunities, support strong performance and create durable
businesses fit for the future."
As well as his Chairmanship of Haleon and directorship at PepsiCo,
Sir Dave is also Chairman of Xlinks, a privately owned renewable
energy business. From 2012 and 2016 he served on the Board of Sky
plc.
Sir Dave is also the Chair of the World Wildlife Fund in the UK, and
was chair of Champions 12.3, a UN programme seeking to add momentum
to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Target 12.3 by
2030. Sir Dave co-chaired the Consumer, Retail and Life Sciences
Business Council, which was established to advise the UK Prime
Minister, and for three months in 2021, he volunteered to help the UK
Government work through the supply chain challenges the country was
facing at the time.
Sir Dave was knighted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the 2021
New Year's Honours List in recognition of his contribution to
business and the food industry in the United Kingdom.
