CFO Steps Down at Reckitt Benckiser

Reckitt Benckiser (RB) announced that Colin Day, chief financial officer and executive member of the board, will leave the company. His successor will be announced in the next few months.

According to the company, Day wants to focus increasingly on his portfolio of non-executive positions and other career interests, and the board has decided that now is a good time to appoint a successor keen to focus on leading the company’s finance function in support of the next stage of RB’s growth.

To ensure a smooth transition and an effective handover, Day will remain with the business until end of March 2011, said the company.
