Former Fonterra executive Guy Roper appointed DCANZ chair
A former Fonterra executive is the new chair of the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand (DCANZ).
University of Waikato academic Matt Bolger has been appointed new chairman of Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand (DCANZ).
He takes over next month from Malcolm Bailey, who has served in the role since 2008.
DCANZ provides an important mechanism for dairy manufacturing and exporting companies to work together and speak with one voice on pre-competitive matters of importance to the New Zealand dairy industry.
DCANZ says Bolger will bring an important independent perspective and deep knowledge of the New Zealand and global dairy industry to the role.
He is the current Pro Vice Chancellor of the Waikato Management School at the University of Waikato and held a variety of New Zealand and internationally based roles with Fonterra between 2002-2020.
