(Reuters) -New Zealand’s Fonterra on Wednesday named Neil Beaumont as its chief financial officer (CFO), to succeed Marc Rivers who announced his exit earlier this year.
Chris Rowe, the acting CFO, will continue until Beaumont steps into the role in early February 2023, the company said.
Beaumont has previously held senior roles at mining giant BHP Group in Chile and Australia and at auditing firm KPMG.
Fonterra Chief Executive Officer Miles Hurrell said, Beaumont is “an experienced global finance leader whose expertise in strategic implementation will be a real asset to our management team.”
