Ehab Abou-oaf was named president of Kimberly-Clark’s newly formed International Family Care and Professional (IFP) business unit in July 2025. He stated that the unit combines Family Care, which accounts for roughly 34% of IFP’s $3.5 billion in net sales and operates in close to 50 markets, with the Professional business, which he described as margin-accretive. Abou-oaf said the combined business delivers approximately 10% operating profit margin and that the company aims to improve growth and profitability by being "choiceful" about investments, accelerating speed to market, and building commercial capabilities such as advanced analytics and revenue growth management. Abou-oaf noted that IFP plans to leverage tools like a predictive analytics-based "Formula 1" tool to optimize sales routines, and to develop digital ecosystems for personalized consumer engagement. He cited an example of the company exiting low-margin private label contracts and optimizing sourcing hubs, stating that this year the business would grow production output, sales volumes, and margins. He said the organization is designed to "win in our markets" by consolidating key capabilities and deploying resources efficiently. Abou-oaf has more than 30 years of experience in consumer packaged goods, including prior roles as president of Kimberly-Clark’s Professional global business and president of Australia, Asia, Middle East & Africa for Mars Confectionery.
