Corbion announced it made changes to its Executive Committee, aimed at enhancing leadership. The Executive Committee now has a new, leaner structure, comprising six members, “designed to foster collaboration, agility, and speed in decision-making processes,” Corbion details.
Oli Arnason has been appointed as Chief Integrated Supply Chain Officer (CISCO), effective July 15. He joins Corbion from Friesland Campina, where he most recently served as Global Manufacturing Director.
Yves Boland, PhD, will join Corbion as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), effective September 1. Dr. Boland specializes in fermentation technology and innovation, having most recently served as Vice President of Technical Services & Business Development at Tate & Lyle.
Ruud Peerbooms has taken on the role of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), effective July 1, responsible for all commercial activities of Corbion. Previously President of Health and Nutrition, he has been with Corbion for over a decade.
Jacqueline van Lemmen will step down as Chief Operations Officer (COO) after having been a member of Corbion’s Executive Committee since 2017. Jennifer Lindsey will continue as Head of Global Marketing within the Commercial Organization.
CEO Olivier Rigaud commented on these appointments: “I am very happy to welcome Oli and Yves to our team and to see Ruud step into this new role. Their combined expertise will be key as we strive to not only deliver innovative, sustainable solutions and exceptional service to our customers but also elevate our company performance and maximize shareholder returns. Oli’s experience in integrated supply chain management will help us optimize our operations, Yves’ talent for weaving together innovation and business strategy will accelerate our journey from concept to market, and Ruud’s deep knowledge of our markets will drive our commercial strategy forward. Together, they will play a crucial role in positioning Corbion for future growth and success. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Jacqueline for her dedicated service as COO and to Jennifer for her ongoing contributions to our marketing efforts. Together, they have helped shape Corbion into the company it is today, and I look forward to building on that foundation as we move forward.”
