Sahni joins iNova with more than 15 years of marketing and commercial leadership experience across consumer health and FMCG, spanning regional and global roles across Asia Pacific and emerging markets. Throughout his career, he has built and scaled brands across baby skincare, women’s health, over-the-counter (OTC) and hydration categories.

Prior to joining iNova, he was global marketing director for hydration and nutrition at Kenvue. He spent more than 12 years at Johnson & Johnson, joining in 2011 as brand manager, OTC and nutrition, before rising to regional associate director, baby skin and feminine care in 2021.

He began his career as a business analyst at Deloitte Consulting, according to his LinkedIn.

“I’m pleased to be joining iNova Pharmaceuticals. This role brings together many of the spaces I care deeply about — trusted science, meaningful innovation, culturally relevant brand-building, and the opportunity to create impact across markets. I’m looking forward to supporting the next phase of growth across the portfolio," said Sahni on his appointment. 

His appointment comes amid other movements within the marketing industry. Foodpanda Malaysia's marketing director Steff Yong recently stepped down from her role, describing her tenure as a "wild and memorable" experience. Meanwhile, in Singapore, personal care brand Stryv has appointed Vanessa Tan as its chief marketing officer earlier in March. 

In January this year, Kenvue appointed Madav Nayak as its vice president and chief marketing officer for Asia Pacific leading China, India, Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
