Goldstone, one of the architects of Premier Foods’ Powerbrands
strategy, focusing marketing on eight key brands, will take over Hazel
Detsiny’s role as vice-president of brand-building, foods and ice cream,
from next month, while she takes maternity leave.
He will be given a permanent position within Unilever when Detsiny returns next year.
Goldstone left Premier Foods amid a restructure in February, under which the managing director of the bakery and grocery division, Iwan Williams, absorbed Goldstone’s marketing duties.
Goldstone will oversee marketing strategies for the Flora and Ben & Jerry’s brands, among others. His role will sit alongside that of Iain Potter, vice-president of Unilever’s home and personal category in the UK and Ireland.
