Jawa joined Unilever in 1988 as a management trainee. He has worked across South East Asia, North Asia, Philippines and UK.
 
Nitin Paranjpe, non executive chairperson, HUL, said, “Sanjiv with his foresight has led HUL to become a high-performing and future-fit business. He has been an integral part of the Unilever Leadership Executive and has driven the South Asia growth agenda as the president of the market cluster.

Through his passion, commitment, and endless energy, he leaves behind a business that is now poised to achieve even greater heights.”
