Electrolux Australia and New Zealand has welcomed Himal Jekishan to the role of product line director – care and wellbeing.

Jekishan joins the business from Samsung where he gained considerable leadership experience, most recently as director and head of TV/AV division. He will lead the product line team for care and wellbeing in ANZ to deliver product category expertise and drive continued growth in these two pillars.

“I am truly excited to welcome Himal to the Electrolux family. His extensive leadership experience in the appliance industry and vast product line experience complements our ongoing strategy perfectly,” Electrolux ANZ managing director, Kurt Hegvold said.

Jekishan succeeds John Henley who will leave the business later this year following his retirement.
