周四，宝洁公司对外称公司美容业务部总裁维吉尼娅•德罗索斯女士（Virginia Drosos）将于9月1日离开公司，美容业务部几个核心品类的总部将移至新加坡。
全球最大的消费品公司宝洁称，公司旗下的美容、护肤、化妆品和个人护理业务全球总裁德罗索斯女士是这次大变动的幕后策划人，但她自己却选择留在美国，因为，相比工作两个十几岁大的孩子和丈夫对她而言更为重要。
生产玉兰油面霜和汰渍洗衣用剂的宝洁公司还称其在接下来2年内将把旗下生产护肤品、化妆品和个人护理用品的这些公司总部从辛辛那提的主要办公地点迁至新加坡，并称公司不会削减任何职位。这次变动将使公司20名员工的工作岗位受到影响。
随着北美等成熟市场的业务开始放缓，宝洁和其他消费品公司逐渐把发展目标转移至亚洲和其他地区的新兴市场。宝洁预计，到本财年末公司在新兴市场的销售额将占其年销售总额的37%。
宝洁还称，公司的亚洲护肤品牌SK-II最近也跻身26家“10亿美元品牌”名单之列，该名单中的品牌年销售总额至少可达10亿美元。
现年49岁的德罗索斯，她的职位将由51岁的宝洁现任亚洲业务部总裁黛博拉•亨莱塔（Deborah Henretta）代替。亨莱塔的职位则将由49岁的宝洁现任日本业务部副总裁Hasunori Kiriyama顶替。Hasunori Kiriyama将成为宝洁亚洲区的第一个亚裔总裁，负责监管除宝洁大中华区外的所有亚洲业务，并继续受Shannan Stevenson的直接领导。
宝洁公司是整个缩减成本调整计划的核心。该计划将在公司削减5700个职位，并在2016财年之前完成成本缩减100亿美元的目标。两周前，辛辛那提公司称第三季度的净收益减少了16%，这主要是受调整计划要求缩减成本，但柴油、包装成本持续升高的影响。
宝洁公司股票盘中上涨53美分，报收67.20美元。
Procter & Gamble Co. said Thursday that beauty executive Virginia Drosos will leave the company Sept. 1 and several key beauty categories will move their headquarters to Singapore.
The world's largest consumer product company said Drosos, global president beauty, skin, cosmetics and personal care, was the architect behind the move but elected not to move herself because it was in the best interest of her two teenage children and husband.
P&G, which makes Olay skin cream and Tide laundry detergent, also said it is moving its skincare, cosmetics and personal care corporate headquarters from its main office in Cincinnati to Singapore over the next two years. No jobs are being cut. The move will affect about 20 people.
Procter & Gamble and other consumer goods companies are increasingly looking to emerging markets in Asia and elsewhere for growth as developed markets like North America slow. P&G expects emerging markets will account for 37 percent of its annual sales by the end of the fiscal year.
P&G also said recently that an Asian skincare brand, SK-II, became one of its 26 "billion dollar brands," brands with annual sales of at least $1 billion.
Drosos, 49, will be replaced by Deborah Henretta, 51, currently the group president of Asia. Henretta will be succeeded by Hasunori Kiriyama, 49, currently the vice president of Japan. He will be the first Asian head of Asia, and will oversee all of Asia except Greater China, which will continue to be led by Shannan Stevenson.
P&G is the midst of a restructuring plan to reduce costs. It involves cutting 5,700 jobs and saving $10 billion by the end of fiscal year 2016. Two weeks ago the Cincinnati-based company said its third-quarter net income dropped 16 percent, hurt by costs related to the restructuring plan and continued high costs for things like diesel fuel and packaging.
Shares rose 53 cents to $64.20 in midday trading.
