In Brief
PARIS, (Reuters) – Louis Dreyfus Company announced the surprise departures of its chief executive and head of finance on Sept. 25, triggering another reshuffle at the commodities giant as it strives to recover from weak agricultural markets.
The group said in a statement that Gonzalo Ramirez Martiarena had resigned as CEO after three years in the post to pursue other opportunities, and would be replaced with immediate effect by Ian McIntosh, previously chief strategy officer.
Federico Cerisoli, previously deputy chief financial officer (CFO), would become group CFO after Armand Lumens decided to leave for personal reasons.
