Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC said Thursday that Chief Executive Officer Laxman Narasimhan has decided to step down with effect from Sept. 30.

The consumer-goods company--which houses Dettol, Harpic and Durex among its brands--said Senior Independent Director Nicandro Durante will be CEO in the interim until the board finds a successor.

Mr. Durante has served as CEO of British American Tobacco PLC over a nine-year period and is familiar with the strategy and direction of Reckitt Benckiser, the company said.

The company added Mr. Durante will receive a salary of 1.1 million pounds ($1.3 million) and is eligible to participate in the annual bonus plan with a target of 120% of salary, among other benefits.
