Biography
Durk Jager is a native of Haskerland, Netherlands. He joined Procter & Gamble in 1970, after graduating from the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the same year.[4] He became a general manager of the company's Japan subsidiary in 1985, and then Vice President in 1987. In 1988, he was made responsible for the company's Far East and Asia Pacific divisions. In 1989, he was elected to the board of directors.
In 1990, Jager became the executive vice president with responsibility for the Soap, Chemicals, Health Care and Beauty Care divisions. He was given the responsibility for the company's US business in 1991. In 1995, he was named president and chief operating officer.[4]
Durk became the CEO of P&G in 1999, at a time when P&G was in the midst of a corporate restructuring exercise started in September 1998.[6] He decided to overhaul the product development, testing and launch processes. He believed that there was a need to change the P&G employees who had been used to lifetime employment and a conservative management style. He led an ambitious six-year restructuring effort called "Organization 2005", which intended to boost sales and profits via introduction of new products as well as elimination of unnecessary jobs. However, the $1.9 billion effort cut into P&G profits, and Jager resigned abruptly in 2000.[7]
