Kenvue Shifts North America Lead, Emphasizes Staff ‘Energy’ In Transition From J&J Ownership

CEO Thibaut Mongon says Kenvue’s priorities since separation from J&J include “maybe something that was not obvious in the previous world,” when employees “could not relate to how” their work mattered. North America president change comes with skin health and beauty portfolio “not where we want to be.”
