Givaudan’s Post

Today we announced succession plans for the CEO and Chairman at Givaudan. After a distinguished career of more than 30 years with the Company, including 20 years as our CEO, Gilles Andrier will retire from his role on 1 March 2026. He will hand over to Christian Stammkoetter, who will join from Danone, bringing extensive experience in the fast-moving consumer goods and nutrition sector, and a strong customer and consumer focus. Christian will take over as Givaudan’s CEO on 1 March 2026 at the start of our next five-year strategy cycle. A very warm welcome to Christian from all of us at Givaudan! We extend our deepest gratitude to Gilles for his visionary leadership, which has been instrumental in driving Givaudan’s significant growth. Under his leadership, he has firmly established Givaudan as a global leader in Fragrance & Beauty and Taste & Wellbeing. Our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Calvin Grieder, will also stand down at the next Annual General Meeting in March 2026, having served on the Board of Directors for 12 years. At the AGM, Gilles Andrier will be proposed for election to the role of Chairman, bringing continuity and his deep experience to provide strategic oversight at the Board level. We share our warmest thanks to Calvin for his dedication and invaluable contributions as Chairman for the last eight years. We wish him all the best as he moves on to a new chapter of his life.
