Appointment of Non-Executive Director - Board succession
planning
The Board of Croda International Plc is pleased to announce the
appointment of John Ramsay as a Non-Executive Director with effect
from 1 January 2020.
John, a Chartered Accountant, served as Chief Financial Officer
of Syngenta AG from 2007 to 2016 and was also Interim Chief
Executive Officer from October 2015 to June 2016. Prior to this,
John served as Group Financial Controller of Syngenta from 2000 to
2007 and as the Finance Head of Asia Pacific for Zeneca
Agrochemicals from 1993 to 1999. Earlier in his career he was a
Financial Controller of ICI Malaysia and regional controller for
Latin America. Before joining ICI in 1984, he worked in audit and
tax at KPMG. John is a member of the Supervisory Board at
Koninklijke DSM N.V. and a Non-Executive Director of G4S plc and
RHI Magnesita N.V. He is Audit Committee Chair on all three
boards.
On joining the Board, John will be appointed to the Audit,
Nomination and Remuneration Committees.
Alan Ferguson will retire from the Board on 23 April 2020
following the AGM after nine years as a Non-Executive Director.
John Ramsay will take over as Chair of the Audit Committee and
Helena Ganczakowski will take on the role as Senior Independent
Director. Helena has been on the Board since February 2014 and is
the Chair of the Remuneration Committee.
Anita Frew, Chair of Croda International Plc, commented:
"John brings with him a wealth of financial, international and
sector experience. John has a Life Sciences background with ICI,
AstraZeneca and Syngenta and brings a deep emerging market
experience from his 10 years living and working in Asia and from
his work in Latin America. We are delighted to welcome him to the
Board. John's appointment in January 2020 will allow for a period
of hand over before he takes the role as Audit Committee Chair in
April 2020. His strong background as an Audit Committee Chair will
be of enormous benefit to the Croda Board and complement and
enhance the significant expertise we already have on the Board.
"I am delighted that Helena Ganczakowski is stepping up to
become Senior Independent Director. She has extensive Board
experience and has demonstrated strong leadership of the
Remuneration Committee.
"Alan Ferguson has made an outstanding contribution to the
Board, both as Audit Committee Chair and Senior Non-Executive
Director, and, on behalf of the Board and his colleagues, we thank
him for all his advice and support and wish him all the best for
the future."
There are no further matters to be disclosed under LR9.6.13R of
the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority.
