LONDON (Reuters) -Incoming Unilever CEO Hein Schumacher gets seasick, according to his former boss at food group Heinz, but that never stopped him joining executive sailing trips and sticking them out. Schumacher, 51, is likely to need all his determination - as well as the experience he gained in food at Heinz and in retailing at Dutch grocer Ahold - when he takes the helm at Unilever from Alan Jope in July. Encouragingly for Schumacher, who worked as a finance manager at Unilever more than 20 years ago before heading to Ahold, he was warmly welcomed by activist investor and Unilever board member Nelson Peltz - who has a long track record of shaking up consumer goods companies, including Heinz.
