Strobel has been with P&G since 1991, when he joined the company in brand management for the health and beauty division. He has served in his current position since 2017. In a series of related moves, Freddy Bharucha, current president of P&G’s North American personal care and beauty operations, has been named global president of personal care; and Sue Kyung Lee, current CEO of the company’s SK-II division, has been appointed global president of P&G skin care.
