LONDON (Alliance News) - Attractions and theme parks operator Merlin Entertainments PLC on Tuesday said it has hired Anne-Françoise Nesmes as its chief financial officer, poaching her from FTSE 250-listed veterinary pharmaceuticals company Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC.
Nesmes will join Merlin from August 1 and will take over from Andrew Carr, who will retire from the role. Carr will remain in place until Nesmes joins and will stay with the company for a period following her start to ensure a smooth transition.
Nesmes moves from her chief financial officer and executive director role at Dechra and previously worked in a number of senior finance roles at GlaxoSmithKline PLC, the drugmaker.
Dechra said it has started the process of recruiting a replacement and will make an announcement on this in due course.
