PROCTER & GAMBLE Business Summary

Procter & Gamble (P&G) operates a high-volume transactional business model centered on the manufacturing and global distribution of branded consumer packaged goods. The company generates revenue through five primary segments: Fabric & Home Care (its largest division, including Tide and Dawn), Baby, Feminine & Family Care (Pampers, Bounty), Beauty (Olay, Pantene), Health Care (Oral-B, Vicks), and Grooming (Gillette). As of early 2026, P&G maintains a dominant market-leading position, leveraging a premium-tier pricing strategy and a massive R&D-driven innovation pipeline to maintain high margins. Its primary direct competitors include Unilever, Kimberly-Clark, and Church & Dwight; while P&G leads these peers in total market capitalization and brand equity, it is currently navigating a defensive market phase characterized by volume-growth challenges and margin protection against 2026 trade tariffs and inflationary pressures. Founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble, the company is currently led by President and CEO Shailesh Jejurikar, a 37-year company veteran who assumed the role in January 2026 after serving as COO and head of the Fabric & Home Care sector. He is supported by Executive Chairman Jon Moeller, who previously served as CEO and CFO, and Andre Schulten, the current Chief Financial Officer. Technical and product innovation is overseen by Victor Aguilar, Chief Research, Development and Innovation Officer, while Seth Cohen serves as Chief Information Officer. The company’s public board of directors features high-profile leadership, including Lead Director Joseph Jimenez (former CEO of Novartis), Christopher Kempczinski (CEO of McDonald's), Rajesh Subramaniam (CEO of FedEx), and Christine McCarthy (former CFO of The Walt Disney Company).
