LONDON (Alliance News) - Iodine explorer and producer Iofina PLC Friday said Thomas Becker has been appointed as its new president and chief executive with immediate effect.
Following Becker's appointment, co-founder Jeffery Ploen, who was appointed as the interim chief executive in April following the departures of Chief Executive George Lantz and Chief Finance Officer Gary Gatchell, will return to his role as a non-executive director.
Becker is currently an executive director of Iofina and is the president and chief executive of Iofina Chemical Inc, the specialty chemical arm of the business.
"Tom has shown he is the ideal candidate to lead Iofina through its next stage of development. His proven success at Iofina Chemical and extensive knowledge and connections within the global iodine industry are well recognised. Tom's leadership will guide Iofina forward as we continue to grow and optimize our company-wide operations," Lance Baller, co-founder and non-executive chairman of Iofina, said.
