Fonterra has announced its chief operating officer, Fraser Whineray, intends to resign from Fonterra at the end of this financial year on 31 July. CEO Miles Hurrell says Whineray joined Fonterra in 2020 and has made a significant contribution during his time with the business.
“Fraser has set the co-operative ambitious goals for decarbonisation and the management of water, and his enterprise leadership helped shape our new strategy and 2030 targets. He will leave our operations business unit in great shape with a longer-term outlook and a sharp focus on efficiency,” Hurrell says. “He has indicated he intends to embark on a new career path and is looking to become more involved in venture capital as an investor and governor. I wish him well with this endeavour.
“Fraser will stay on until the end of July and is committed to helping with finding a successor and ensuring a smooth handover,” says Hurrell.
