> Garcia takes over Jan. 5, 2027, as Clorox CEO Linda Rendle steps down from the CEO, chair and director roles. Lead independent director Matthew J. Shattock will become independent chair.

Clorox’s board appointed Fabian Garcia as CEO Oct. 28, setting a Jan. 5, 2027, transition that ends Linda Rendle’s tenure in the top role at the company. Clorox announced the appointment Oct. 29. Garcia will also join the board.

Rendle will step down as CEO, chair and director when Garcia takes over, then remain at Clorox as a senior adviser through April 2, 2027. Matthew J. Shattock, the company’s lead independent director, will become independent chair.

Garcia has led Unilever’s Personal Care business group since 2022 and previously served as president of Unilever North America. He was CEO of Revlon from 2016 to 2018. From 2003 to 2016, he held roles at Colgate-Palmolive, including COO, Global Innovation and Growth, and earlier held global leadership roles at Procter & Gamble.

Rendle announced in May that she planned to step down for health reasons. The appointment followed a comprehensive search.

“Fabian is an accomplished global business leader with an exceptional track record of delivering results,” Shattock said.
