Dow Jones News
LONDON--Unilever PLC (UL) said that Vittorio Colao, chief
executive of Vodafone Group PLC (VOD.LN), will join the board as a
non-executive director on July 1.
Mr. Colao's appointment follows several board changes announced
earlier this week. On March 3 Unilever said directors Sir Malcolm
Rifkind, Byron Grote, Kees Storm and Paul Walsh won't stand for
re-election this year. Judith Hartmann and Nils Smedegaard Andersen
were named as new directors.
The consumer-goods company announced Mr. Rifkind's departure a
week after the former U.K. foreign secretary said he would leave
parliament after becoming embroiled in a media sting.
The appointments are dependent on shareholders' approval.
