LONDON (Alliance News) - Stevia ingredients producer PureCircle Ltd on Thursday said it has appointed Rakesh Sinha as chief financial officer following the retirement of William Mitchell.
Sinha joins the company from Anglo-Dutch consumer goods firm Unilever PLC, where he has held a number of senior finance and strategic roles over the past 17 years, including as finance director of the Australian and New Zealand ice-cream business and CFO of Unilever Taiwan and Hong Kong. He is currently CFO for Latin America, South and Eastern Europe at Unilever Food Solutions.
Sinha will join PureCircle on April 25 and will take over from Mitchell as CFO upon his retirement later in the year.
"The group has major long-term growth plans and we are delighted to have secured the services of Rakesh Sinha to support and help lead those plans. We believe he will bring to PureCircle a great combination of relevant industry knowledge, proven international experience, strong leadership to our finance team and a valuable contribution to our board," Chairman Paul Selway-Swift said in a statement.
