Clorox has named Linda Rendle, 42, as CEO effective Sept. 14. Rendle becomes the company’s first female CEO and only the second in the household and personal care sector after Andrea Jung headed Avon Products from 2000 to 2012.
Rendle will succeed Chairman-CEO Benno Dorer, who will remain as executive chairman during a transition period, as has been the company’s custom. Dorer’s departure comes as a surprise, since he’s only 56. In a statement he said, “Clorox will be in good hands as I pursue my passion for philanthropy in support of youth, sustainability and art.”
Rendle is a 17-year Clorox veteran who most recently was president of the company, and before that exec-VP of cleaning, international strategy and operations. She keeps intact a tradition at the company: She began her career at Procter & Gamble Co.—just like every other Clorox CEO since the company was separated from P&G in 1969 following an antitrust ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court.
