Louis-Francois, who will take up his new role from summer 2023, brings a wealth of experience to Valeo Foods as a proven finance leader in the international consumer goods space following successful periods at Orangina-Schweppes, Suntory, and most recently Havea Group where he held the CFO role for the last 3 1/2 years and was responsible for a significant business transformation, and a successful exit.
“I’m very excited to join Valeo Foods, and look forward to supporting the ambition of continuing to build a leading European food business with global reach and impact” said Louis-Francois Gombert, Group CFO of Valeo Foods.
Speaking on his departure Brendan said: “As a long term shareholder, I’m immensely proud of Valeo Food’s journey over the last 11 plus years since its formation. I look forward to working with Louis-Francois on a smooth transition and wish him every success in his new role.”
“We are very excited about working together with Louis-Francois, tapping into his wealth of expertise as a seasoned finance leader, and we wish him every success in his new role.
