(Reuters) - Cleaning products maker Clorox said on Wednesday long-time finance chief Kevin Jacobsen will step down and would be succeeded by insider Luc Bellet.

The leadership transition occurs as the Pine-Sol maker shifts its focus toward digital transformation and growth initiatives.

Starting April 1, Jacobsen, who joined Clorox in 1995 and has served as CFO since 2018, will transition to an advisory capacity until his retirement in June.

Bellet, who has been with Clorox for nearly two decades and is currently the treasurer, has been involved in the company's financial planning, audit and businesses development.

The company is set to report its second-quarter results next week.
