Unilever is making a change in its marketing leadership that includes the departure of Esi Eggleston Bracey.

Leandro Barreto, currently chief marketing officer for Unilever’s Beauty & Wellbeing Business Group, will extend his role and take accountability for Unilever’s enterprise-wide marketing agenda, becoming chief marketing officer, Unilever and Beauty & Wellbeing, effective Jan. 1. 2026.

In an announcement from the company, Unilever said in her role as chief growth and marketing officer, Eggleston Bracey has been transforming how Unilever “markets its brands and engages with consumers at a time of remarkable industry change and in an era of digital revolution.”

This effort, according to the owner Dove, Nutrafol and Dermalogica, had “reached a stage where even greater ownership and proximity to Unilever’s Business Groups will drive increased impact.”

Eggleston Bracey will leave Unilever at the end of January 2026. She will work alongside Barreto during January to ensure a smooth transition, according to the company.

Eggleston Bracey joined Unilever in 2018 to lead Beauty & Personal Care for North America.
