The spokesperson said: “Members of the board of directors are prohibited to represent the firm once they reach 72.”
Brabeck-Letmathe has held the position since 2005 when he became chairman and CEO. In 2008, the head of Nestle’s business in the Americas, Paul Bulcke, was appointed CEO, with Brabeck-Lemathe remaining chairman.
Asked if Nestle had considered who would replace Brabeck-Letmathe, the spokesperson said it was “far too early to say so and we do comment at this stage”.
