Home care solutions provider Kimberly-Clark Lever today said it has appointed Vikas Singh as Managing Director for its India operations.
Singh will head all corporate operations for the company, which markets the Huggies and Kotex brands in India, said a release issued here.
He joins Kimberly-Clark Lever from Bharti Airtel where he was Hub Chief Executive Officer of Kerala and Tamil Nadu and responsible for all operations within the region and provided strategic guidance there, it said.
