Following the appointment of new CEO Ronald Kers in June, 2 Sisters Food Group has announced further senior additions to the company, many of whom have joined from Kers’ previous employer – Muller.
Ker has conducted a ‘root and branch’ review of the senior teams at the meat business, identifying roles and individuals that he believes will best move the organisation forward.
Following Meal Solutions managing director Simon Wookey’s departure in November, current UK poultry managing director Keith Packer has agreed to fill the role on a permanent basis.
With Packer’s transition across divisions, Andrew McInnes joins as managing director of the UK Poultry business. McInnes joins from Muller where he was managing director of Milk & Ingredients.
Lee Greenbury has joined in the newly-created role of group people and compliance director. He most recently worked with Muller where he held the position of director of legal.
Heading the new transformation team as transformation director will be Seb Jones. He joins after a 23-year career at Muller, most recently as global group integration director.
Marvilano Mochtar joins in the newly-created role of strategy manager. Reporting directly to Kers, he will assist the business with strategy formulation and implementation. Marvilano joins from the Boston Consulting Group.
Kers said: “Transforming 2 Sisters requires top team effort. By bringing in the right people in the right roles, we are building the foundations of a disciplined, high performance organisation.”
Kers acknowledged the pace of change after being in post since June, and also that three of the new hires came from his previous business, Muller, where he was global CEO.
He added: “I want us to turnaround our business performance as soon as possible, and although we are making some progress already, I want to accelerate the pace. I know that having a strong, senior leadership team in place that I know and who have a track record of delivery is essential. I have worked very closely with Andrew, Lee and Seb over the years and I am confident they can hit the ground running and add great value to 2 Sisters.”
