We wish him all the best and appreciate his ongoing leadership to ensure a smooth transition as we search for his successor.”
Andreas Fibig, chairman and CEO, said, “Leading this 132-year-old iconic company through a true transformation this past decade has been an honor. With the company delivering strong sales growth and the integration of Nutrition & Biosciences well underway, I feel now is the right time to let the next chapter of IFF’s legacy begin. We have created an unrivaled platform that is a true innovation partner to our customers and instilled a real purpose within our company to become a global leader in sustainability. Of all we have accomplished at IFF, what I am most proud of is that IFF has returned to its rightful place as the clear leader in our field, extending its illustrious legacy and poised to define the evolution of our industry for years to come.
