Unilever Caribbean Lim­it­ed (UCL) has an­nounced the ap­point­ment of Ginelle Lam­bie as the man­ag­ing di­rec­tor of the com­pa­ny, ef­fec­tive May 14, 2025.

Lam­bie joined UCL, which is list­ed on the T&T Stock Ex­change, in April 2023 in the role of na­tion­al fi­nance man­ag­er. Be­fore join­ing the com­pa­ny, she served as the chief fi­nan­cial of­fi­cer at An­gos­tu­ra Hold­ings Ltd be­tween De­cem­ber 11, 2017 and March 25, 2023.

On Jan­u­ary 1, 2024, she was ap­point­ed as an ex­ec­u­tive di­rec­tor and the act­ing man­ag­ing di­rec­tor.

Ginelle holds a Bach­e­lor in Busi­ness Ad­min­is­tra­tion, a Mas­ter of Sci­ence in Ac­coun­tan­cy and is a Cer­ti­fied Pub­lic Ac­coun­tant.

In a news re­lease, Unilever said Lam­bie brings over 20 years of ex­pe­ri­ence in fast mov­ing con­sumer goods (FM­CG), man­u­fac­tur­ing, telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions, me­dia and en­ter­tain­ment and bank­ing in the Unit­ed States and T&T. She has over 11 years’ ex­pe­ri­ence in busi­ness analy­sis and fi­nan­cial re­port­ing in FM­CG com­pa­nies.

On May 15, Unilever re­port­ed a prof­it af­ter tax for its first quar­ter of $16.2 mil­lion, which was an im­prove­ment of 169 per cent, com­pared to the $6.02 mil­lion the com­pa­ny earned in its first quar­ter of 2024.

The com­pa­ny’s rev­enue in the pe­ri­od Jan­u­ary 1 to March 31, 2025, was $81.20 mil­lion, which was 42.3 per cent more than its sales in the com­pa­ra­ble quar­ter in 2024. Unilever’s rev­enue in the first quar­ter of 2024, in­clud­ed a sig­nif­i­cant one-off trans­ac­tions re­lat­ing to its new dis­tri­b­u­tion mod­el.

“This change in dis­tri­b­u­tion mod­el is a strate­gic re­cal­i­bra­tion and a crit­i­cal el­e­ment in en­sur­ing sus­tain­able growth while nav­i­gat­ing the chal­leng­ing and dy­nam­ic eco­nom­ic en­vi­ron­ment,” said Unilever’s first quar­ter re­sults.

The com­pa­ny re­sults pro­vid­ed earn­ings per share for the quar­ter of $0.62, in­di­cat­ing a note­wor­thy in­crease from $0.23 per share in the cor­re­spond­ing pe­ri­od of 2024.

The board of di­rec­tors has ap­proved a quar­ter­ly in­ter­im div­i­dend of $0.16 per share, amount­ing to $4.2 mil­lion based on the com­pa­ny’s fi­nan­cial per­for­mance.
