Organisational changes
A2 Milk will now be introducing a new chief supply chain officer role to lead its end-to-end supply chain in all categories and markets.
It notes that the role will bring together its operations and manufacturing teams under a combined leadership role to transform its supply chain as a key aspect of its refreshed growth strategy.
The chief supply chain officer role will be a member of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) reporting directly to the CEO. In light of this change, Bernard May, who will report to the new chief supply chain officer, will step down from the ELT. However, May will continue as the CEO of the Mataura Valley Milk (MVM) business.
The company has not yet appointed a chief supply chain officer but expects to do so in the coming weeks.
