Seventh Generation, leading producer of sustainable household products, announced that its Board of Directors has named John Replogle to serve as the company's Chief Executive Officer and President. Repogle has served as the CEO of leading green personal care products company Burt’s Bees since 2006, and was previously the general manager of Unilever’s skin care division in North America.
Replogle's appointment ends a CEO search commenced by the Seventh Generation Board following the September resignation of Chuck Maniscalco, who joined the company in 2009, replacing company founder, Jeffrey Hollender, as CEO. Peter Graham, Seventh Generation's Chairman, said that the Seventh Generation board unanimously selected Replogle based on his track record leading a complex organization, his demonstrated commitment to corporate responsibility, and his strong executive and personal qualities.
