People Moves: Reema Jain, Unilever

Unilever has promoted Reema Jain to the position of Chief Information Officer, demonstrating the organisation’s commitment to AI and digital transformation across global operations.

Taking to LinkedIn to announce her new role, a “thrilled” Reema highlighted a “powerful moment to accelerate how AI and technology will shape and power our business”.

She continued: “I am a true believer that technology can be a powerful force for transformation, for people, for teams, for the way we work and create impact at scale.”

Return to Unilever

Reema is in the midst of her second stint at Unilever, having first joined the business back in 2016. 

She previously served in various IT leadership roles, latterly as IT Director for Digital Supply Chain between 2019 and 2021, helping to advance technology-enabled supply solutions. 

In the meantime, Reema worked as Chief Digital Officer at Vodafone Idea Limited and Chief Information and Digital Officer at Hero MotoCorp.

She rejoined Unilever in May 2025 to become Global VP of Digital Technology. 

Driving AI strategy

Reema’s appointment comes as Unilever continues to deepen its investments in AI-driven capabilities – particularly in marketing and content production. 

The company’s in-house graphic design studios, Sketch Pro, now leverage AI tools to produce creative assets more efficiently, enabling brands to respond to cultural trends in real time. According to Unilever, these AI-enabled systems have accelerated content creation by up to 30% across the full lifecycle – from ideation to personalization – in priority markets.

AI has also played a growing role within Unilever Food Solutions (UFS). The introduction of the Recipe Intelligence AI tool has helped brands strengthen cultural relevance, consumer trust and loyalty, highlighting the expanding impact of AI across multiple business areas.

Reema takes responsibility for driving Unilever’s technology strategy across the supply chain, marketing and consumer engagement functions. 

Unilever is expected to further integrate AI across its global operations, sharpening its competitive edge in an increasingly digital-first FMCG landscape.
