Chief Executive Officer | Ceo |
Dendermonde, Be
Nutriad, headquartered in Belgium, was a privately held company, owned by Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and RABO until the acquisition by Adisseo in 2018. Nutriad produces and sells species specific animal feed additives for swine, poultry, ruminants and aquaculture through own organization and distribution network. As the CEO I am P&L responsible and report to the Supervisory Board. Nutriad has 190 employees in 15 companies and is globally active. My direct reports are Regional-, R&D-, Marketing-, Operations- and Finance-, and Legal Managers.Our strategy starts with the customer in mind and is aimed at providing practical solutions that deliver real value to the end user. The company was cash flow negative when I joined and needed a turn around that included restructuring; refinancing; reengineering of supply chain; rebranding and a strong commercial push. With the support of our shareholders and the strong commitment of the entire team, this resulted in strong EBITDA growth and ultimately in the successful sale of Nutriad to Addisseo, that was completed in Q1-2018.
