Fonterra cements position as the big cheese!
Fonterra has cemented its position as the country’s number one cheesemaker by picking up nine NZ Champion of Cheese trophies this year.
Fonterra has appointed Lukas Paravicini as chief financial officer, succeeding Jonathan Mason who retires at the end of September.
Paravicini joins Fonterra after 22 years with Nestle, most recently as general manager for Nestle Professional Europe for two years, before that in Nestle senior finance positions including running their global business services and 10 years in Latin America.
The co-op has also appointed Jacqueline Chow as managing director global brands and nutrition, a new Fonterra management position. Chow will lead the co-op's overall marketing, innovation and research.
She has spent 20 years in blue-chip multinationals, previously Arnott's, as general manager of Australia and New Zealand, leading its $1 billion business.
Chow has held executive marketing and innovation roles in Campbell's and the Kellogg Company, starting out as a strategy consultant in consumer products.
Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings says the appointments reflect well on the co-op's ability to attract high calibre, internationally experienced people to senior management roles.
