Federated Farmers Calls for Continuity as Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell Steps Down
More of the same please, says Federated Farmers dairy chair Karl Dean when asked about who should succeed Miles Hurrell as Fonterra chief executive.
It is as though Underhill has done a Captain Oates and gone out for a walk – leaving after only two years on the job and with no official word from the co-op; he no longer appears as a co-op management teams or on the website. This is a mystery and ironically another communications gaff by the giant dairy co-op that leaves a great many questions to be asked about Fonterra's old head-in-the-sand, 'nothing to see here' comms approach that has so far been an unmitigated disaster.
