Rahul Welde, EVP digital transformation and digital enterprise at Unilever has give up the organisation after serving it for about 31 years. “Time does fly. It has been 31 years since I started my career at Unilever on a bright day. What a ride! I am fortunate to have been able to ‘pivot’ my career several times, long before the word became fashionable, all while being in the same company. I have always believed in owning your spirit – in my case, following my mantra of ‘Joy over Success’. And sustaining my undying thirst for the new and left field,” Welde mentioned on his social media.
He additional added that Unilever is a good firm – simply too good to sum up in phrases. “As excited about the new chapter as I was when I started my career 31 years ago. Here’s looking forward to the next frontier and then some more.”
In his 31 years at Unilever, he held varied positions from regional business supervisor to gross sales and operations supervisor, vice chairman media, international VP digital transformation, amongst different roles. “When I completed 30 years I said (and it’s there on Twitter for posterity) – When you are in the company that long, I guess you really bleed blue. It’s so much more than brands and business – it’s a family,” he said.
“How does one leave family then? A fork in the road does come though, and it is time to move on from Unilever. I am embarking on a new chapter – building a portfolio career, charting new waters and fostering the spirit of reinvention. I hope to have fun on the roller-coaster that the new ride will be, and am sure will meet many old and new friends along the way,” Welde mentioned.
