Paul Bulcke (born 8, September 1954) is a Belgian businessman who was appointed chief executive officer (CEO) of Nestlé on 20 September 2007 and started in his new role in April 2008.

Early life

He graduated as a commercial engineer at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and is an alumnus of the Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School. He also attended the program for Executive Development at the Swiss leading business school International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne.

Career

In 1979, aged 25, he started working for the Nestlé group and worked in different countries, including Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Portugal, Czech Republic and Germany. Before his appointment as CEO of Nestlé, he was the Head of America (EVP of Americas divisions).

Bulcke has described Nestlé under his tenure as 'une force tranquille' (English: 'calm strength'). He is known for having a reserved, quiet personal manner.^[1]

As of 2016, there has been talk of possibly succedding him as a CEO of Nestle with two potential canidates Lauren Freixie the CEO of Nestle American operations and Wan Ling Martello the CEO of Nestle's Asia-Pacific Operations.^[2]

Controversy

On August 30, 2012, Bulcke claimed that water is not a human right and should be privatized. He was quoted as saying ""If something isn't given a value, people tend to waste it. Water is our most useful resource, but those using it often don’t even cover the costs of its infrastructure. Fresh water is being massively overused at nature’s expense, but it seems only a global crisis will make us realise the importance of the issue. What is environmentally unsustainable today will become socially unsustainable in the future," ^[3]

Awards and honours

On 25 May 2012, he received the VMA Award from the Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School for his "lifelong career, which has been distinguished by sustained integrity, exceptional management capacity and inspiring leadership".^[4]

Personal life

He is married, has three children, and speaks six languages: Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and English.^[5] Paul also does like to go sailing as a hobby.^[6]
