Fonterra confirmed that it is proceeding with the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer and is aiming to announce this over the coming months.
Fonterra’s Chief Executive Officer, Theo Spierings said that he was delighted to have someone of Mr Paravicini’s calibre to continue leading a high performing consumer and foodservice business.
“Mr Paravicini has been with Fonterra for over three years and is well known to us as a world-class finance executive.
“He came to us from Nestlé with not only international finance experience but a successful career leading global food businesses in established and emerging markets,” said Mr Spierings.
“Lukas has an in-depth understanding of global brands and the importance of meeting and anticipating the needs of customers through constant innovation and world-class performance. He and his family have experienced many different cultures around the world and he is fluent in five languages.”
