Oct 16 (Reuters) - Nestle reported
better-than-expected sales growth and volumes on Thursday and
maintained its outlook for 2025 as the world's largest packaged
food company reported results for the first time since
appointing Philipp Navratil as CEO.
Navratil, the former head of Nespresso, replaced Laurent
Freixe, who was fired in September as chief executive over an
undisclosed relationship with a direct report.
Nestle has endured an unprecedented period of managerial
turmoil, with Chairman Paul Bulcke stepping down early to make
way for former Inditex chief Pablo Isla just two weeks after
Freixe's dismissal.
