Procter & Gamble has appointed CEO Shailesh Jejurikar as chairman of the board, effective August 1, 2026.

The move marks the end of Jon Moeller’s tenure as executive chairman, who will retire from the role following the transition.

In a separate filing earlier this week, the company updated its outlook for core earnings per share, projecting a range of $6.

The appointment was disclosed in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, highlighting Item 5.02 regarding changes in senior leadership.

The filing confirms that Jejurikar will assume the chairmanship while continuing to serve as chief executive officer, consolidating leadership authority at the top of the consumer goods giant.

This leadership change comes shortly after Procter & Gamble raised its full-year 2026 guidance.

In a separate filing earlier this week, the company updated its outlook for core earnings per share, projecting a range of $6.89 to $7.11, with a midpoint of $7.00.
