New HR director appointed to ForFarmers' executive committee

ForFarmers has appointed Eveline Paternotte as human resource director to its executive committee, effective January 1, 2021.

She will succeed director of strategy and organisation Stijn Steendijk, who has been appointed as HR group director of Refresco.

Paternotte joined ForFarmers as HR director on May 1 this year. She has spent the largest part of her career in international HR positions in the food and beverages industry. She is also a member of the supervisory board of Koninklijke Grolsch N.V. Nederland.

The executive committee of ForFarmers comprises executive board members Yoram Knoop (CEO), Roeland Tjebbes (CFO), Adrie van der Ven (COO) and five other directors.

The appointment of Paternotte is fully in line with the objective of ForFarmers to enhance  internal promotions, as well as diversity in management positions, the company said.

The other responsibilities that are currently still part of Steendijk's portfolio will be reassigned to other directors.
