NEW DELHI: Maggi controversy has claimed its first victim at Nestle. The Swiss food giant's India MD Etienne Benet is getting transferred to its headquarters in Switzerland. He will be replaced by Suresh Narayanan, chairman and CEO of Nestle Philippines, who is slated to assume office from next month.
Benet, who joined Nestle India in October 2013, oversaw the company's operations during the Maggi crisis. He is also one of the first heads to roll, said a senior executive from Nestle India. "You can expect three to four more senior executives to leave in the coming weeks," he said.
