CFO set to exit ForFarmers

Roeland Tjebbes is to resign as chief financial officer (CFO) and member of the executive board of ForFarmers.

He will leave the company at the end of December this year and will take on the position of CFO elsewhere.

Tjebbes noted the constructive collaboration he has had with colleagues, particularly in relation to devising the revamped growth strategy for the Dutch feed giant.

“Nevertheless, I have made the difficult decision to leave ForFarmers. I wish the members of the board and all my other colleagues the best and have confidence in them and in the important role of ForFarmers in the agricultural sector,” he remarked.

Jan van Nieuwenhuizen, chairman of the supervisory board of ForFarmers, commented on the move: “We regret and respect Roeland Tjebbes’ decision to continue his career outside of ForFarmers. Roeland has fully devoted himself to ForFarmers, both as regards his own portfolio and when we asked him last year to jointly take on the CEO tasks, for which we are duly grateful to him.

“On behalf of the other members of the supervisory board I wish him the best in his new position.”

ForFarmers said it will begin the search process for a new CFO immediately.
