Hain Celestial Group, Inc., a leading health and wellness company based in Hoboken, announced that Alison E. Lewis has been appointed president and chief executive officer, effective immediately.
Lewis had been serving as the company’s interim president and chief executive officer since May 2025. She will also continue in her role as a member of the board of directors.
Lewis is a longtime veteran of the consumer-packaged goods industry. She served as the chief growth officer of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a global consumer goods company. Lewis led the growth strategy for the company’s four categories and was responsible for driving superior in-market execution, unlocking disciplined and profitable revenue growth and maximizing innovation for value and scale.
Before Kimberly-Clark, Lewis served as chief marketing officer at Johnson & Johnson Family of Consumer Companies. She also served as senior vice president and chief marketing officer, North America at The Coca-Cola Company. At both companies, he held domestic and international leadership roles.
“The board has had the opportunity over the past few months to observe Alison in action,” said Dawn Zier, chair of the board. “We are pleased with the bold moves she has already taken to reduce costs, the turnaround agenda she has put in place designed to drive margins and growth, and her focus on progressing the strategic review with Goldman Sachs.
“With Alison’s deep CPG expertise and track record of strong performance, we believe she is best equipped to create shareholder value and lead Hain as our next CEO.”
“I am honored to lead Hain Celestial and look forward to delivering our strategy to reposition the company for a stronger future,” said Lewis. “Over the last several months, the company has been intensely focused on our initiatives to stabilize sales, improve profitability, optimize cash and deleverage our balance sheet.
“I am proud of the work we are doing and confident in our ability to drive future value for all stakeholders.”
Lewis began her career at Kraft General Foods. Her experience in digital-first marketing and sales models placed e-commerce at the forefront of commercial growth and transformation in the companies where she held leadership roles.
