BERLIN, Germany — Adidas AG appointed Henkel AG & Co.'s Kasper Rorsted as chief executive officer to succeed Herbert Hainer.

Rorsted, 53, will become an ordinary member of Adidas’s board on Aug. 1 and take over as CEO two months later, the Herzogenaurach, Germany-based company said in a statement Monday.

Henkel said earlier Monday that Rorsted would leave at the end of April and be replaced by Hans Van Bylen, head of the company’s beauty care business.
