Nutreco CEO Wout Dekker to step down at end of 2012
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Supervisory Board appoints Knut Nesse as successor
Nutreco announces that CEO Wout Dekker (1956) will be leaving Nutreco by the end
of 2012. This will mark the end of a career at the company encompassing almost
thirty years, of which twelve years were as CEO. The Supervisory Board of
Nutreco appointed Knut Nesse (1967, Norwegian nationality) as the successor to
Wout Dekker. Knut Nesse is currently Chief Operating Officer of the Aquaculture
division and has been with the company since 1995. During his Nutreco career he
has held various management positions and was appointed COO of the Aquaculture
division and member of the Nutreco Executive Board in 2009.
Nutreco CEO Wout Dekker: "At the age of 55, I have spent more than half of my
life at Nutreco. I have done this with the greatest pleasure and it has been
more than rewarding. It has been a privilege to work with so many great people
in this exciting and dynamic agriculture and aquaculture industry. Now it is
time for change. I can hand over with complete trust in my successor and the
Executive Board colleagues and in the growth potential of Nutreco. My primary
priorities for 2012 are to make this year a success for the company and to
conduct a good handover of responsibilities to Knut Nesse. After having stepped
down, I will continue my role in Supervisory Boards of other companies and I
will further develop my entrepreneurial interests."
Chairman of the Supervisory Board Jan Maarten de Jong: "Wout Dekker's decision
to step down as Nutreco CEO comes at a logical moment. Not only has he led
Nutreco very successfully over the past 12 years, Wout and his team have also
laid a solid foundation for a prosperous future for the company. The development
and introduction of the growth strategy 'Ambition 2016 - driving sustainable
growth' in November 2011 was welcomed by all of Nutreco's stakeholders. Wout
Dekker has had a decisive impact on the development, growth and success of the
company since joining the Executive Board in 1996. We congratulate him on his
outstanding career at Nutreco. We are proud that with the appointment of Knut
Nesse we have an internal successor for Wout Dekker and we are confident that
under his leadership Nutreco's growth prospects can be realised. Knut Nesse has
shown his leadership and entrepreneurial capabilities in heading successfully
the Aquaculture division of Nutreco. With the appointment of Knut Nesse we have
ensured continuity in the successful development of Nutreco and the execution of
the growth strategy 'Ambition 2016 - driving sustainable growth'. During 2012 we
will concentrate on a transfer of responsibilities and consider the future
composition of the Executive Board in addition to its current members."
