Edgewell Personal Care Company Chief Operating Officer Dan Sullivan is leaving the company, effective Oct. 1, 2025, to pursue another opportunity. As a result, Edgewell is amending its senior leadership structure to streamline operations, enhance efficiency and elevate strong leaders across the business.

Edgewell will eliminate the COO role. It will implement a regional hub structure that is designed to create efficiencies, enhance accountability and accelerate decision-making across all markets. In addition to the chief financial officer and the chief supply chain officer, the four distinct hubs – North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America – will report directly to the chief executive officer.

Sullivan’s Many Contributions Are Lauded

President and CEO Rod Little noted Sullivan played a key role in re-architecting Edgewell’s growth strategy and helped scale the business while enhancing the organization’s focus on brand development, execution and financial performance.

“This helped to solidify a foundation where we can continue to grow and drive efficiency in our operations. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” said Little. “We have a world-class team in place executing across our international business, supply chain operations and driving consumer-centric innovation. We also now have the leadership team and organizational structure in place to improve performance in North America. We are elevating critical regional leaders, removing layers from the organization and creating a more agile, responsive organization that can move faster in today’s dynamic marketplace. We are firmly committed to maintaining our operational excellence and better positioning the company for sustainable, long-term growth.”
