Kimberly-Clark Appoints Chief Growth Officer

Kimberly-Clark Corp., parent company of Kimberly-Clark Professional, has appointed Patricia Corsi chief growth officer, effective July 1.

Corsi joins Kimberly-Clark from Bayer Consumer Health, where she served as chief marketing, IT, and digital officer. In 2023, she was named one of the Top Chief Marketing Officers by Cannes Lions, inducted into the World Advertising Federation (WFA) Marketer of the Year Hall of Fame, and recognized as an Adweek (AW) Brand Genius.

“We’re excited to welcome Patricia to Kimberly-Clark,” said Mike Hsu, Kimberly-Clark chairman and CEO. “She brings strong marketing and general management leadership as well as a track record of delivering results for leading brands across various industries and geographies. I’m looking forward to her leadership in accelerating our brand and commercial programs to drive our long-term growth aspirations for shareholder value creation.”

Corsi succeeds Alison Lewis, who has retired from the company after 35 years in the consumer products industry, including the last five years at Kimberly-Clark. Lewis will serve in an advisory role until September 1 to ensure a smooth transition.

“Alison leaves a tremendous legacy at Kimberly-Clark,” Hsu added. “Her leadership over our Global Growth organization has resulted in stronger, consumer-centric brands and commercial capabilities that have positioned the company well for our next chapter of growth. She is also a beloved leader who brought out the best in her teams. On behalf of everyone at Kimberly-Clark, we thank Alison for her lasting impact on our business.”
