Henkel’s leadership division is undergoing a slight shakeup.

The company, which is the parent to such brands as Dial, Right Guard, Persil and Schwarzkopf among others, announced the appointment of a new president of its North America region.

Essick has spent 23 years at Henkel in roles that have spanned across the global financial and commercial leadership areas in the company’s Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America regions, the company said.

“Our employees and our North American leadership team are well-positioned to stimulate further growth, innovation and sustainable value in the years to come,” said Essick. “We have a lot of opportunities ahead of us.”

In addition, Nicolas Krauss was appointed Henkel’s global head of industrials and electronics, and regional head of adhesive technologies Americas.

Rounding out the North America Leadership team are Alan Wolpert as the corporate senior vice president and regional head of laundry and home Care North America; Filippos Minaidis, senior vice president and general manager of beauty care retail North America; Jenny Schiavone, vice president of corporate communication; Frank Steinert, senior vice president, head of human resources; and Marcy Tenaglia, senior vice president, chief legal officer and secretary.

“I am excited to head this team of seasoned leaders for North America who bring a wide range of perspectives, an exceedingly strong set of business experiences and talents, and passion for building diverse, empowered and collaborative teams,” said Essick.
