The Board of Croda International Plc is pleased to announce the
appointment of Roberto Cirillo and Jacqui Ferguson as non-executive
directors. Roberto will join the Board with effect from 26 April
2018 and Jacqui will join with effect from 1 September 2018.
These appointments strengthen the Board's skills and experience
in the areas of strategy, operations, international/emerging
markets and digitalisation.
Roberto has worked in a number of international roles over the
last 20 years, most recently as CEO of Optegra, the international
eye healthcare company. Before that he was at Sodexo, where he
played a critical role in the company's transformation and growth,
working in a variety of roles, including in strategy and later as
Group COO and as Country CEO of their French business. Prior to
that Roberto worked as a consultant at Mckinsey & Company
across many different areas and countries.
Jacqui has almost 30 years' experience in international roles in
the technology sector. She held many senior operating roles at
Hewlett Packard, including SVP & General Manager of HP's
Enterprise Services Division in Europe whose business was to
deliver digital and technology enabled transformations for
enterprises. She was also Chief of Staff at Hewlett Packard working
with the Chairman and CEO focused on a new company strategy and
transformation. Prior to Hewlett Packard Jacqui worked for
Electronic Data Systems, acquired by HP in 2008, and KPMG. Jacqui
is currently a non-executive director of Wood Plc.
On joining the Board, both Jacqui and Roberto will also be
appointed to the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees.
Anita Frew, Chairman of Croda International Plc, said,
"Both appointments will be of enormous benefit to the Croda
Board, supporting our strategic plans to connect more dynamically
to customers through the use of technology and helping customers
transition to more sustainable ingredients. Roberto brings with him
a wealth of international experience in operations and strategy and
Jacqui a deep knowledge of digital as well as experience in
operating in emerging markets. The appointments will also bring
greater diversity to the Board in terms of gender, tenure,
nationality and experience. We are delighted to welcome them both
to the Croda Board.
"As previously announced, Nigel Turner will be retiring from the
Board on 26 April 2018, at which time Alan Ferguson will take on
the role of Senior Independent Director.
"Steve Williams will have served on the Board for nine years in
2019. In preparation for his retirement next year, Helena
Ganczakowski will take over as Chairman of the Remuneration
Committee with effect from 26 April 2018. This will give Helena a
good period as Chairman to prepare for the Committee's review of
the Company's remuneration policy at the end of the year. Helena
has been a member of the Remuneration Committee since 1 February
2014.
"All these changes to the Board are consistent with the Board's
approach to succession planning."
There are no further matters to be disclosed under LR9.6.13R of
