Diageo Brings Consumer Goods Expertise with P&G Vet Alex Keith

Diageo has appointed R. Alexandra 'Alex' Keith as a non-executive director, bringing over 35 years of international consumer goods experience to its board.

Keith joins from Procter & Gamble Beauty, where she was chief executive and oversaw a major global portfolio and led growth initiatives spanning innovation, acquisitions, and organisational transformation.

Sir John Manzoni, Diageo's chair, said Keith's recent experience in consumer goods would add relevant expertise to the board.

Keith is expected to join on 5 November 2026, subject to shareholder approval at Diageo’s Annual General Meeting.
