Versloot is CEO of the Hero Group, an internationally active Swiss food group based in Lenzburg, specialized in fruit products, baby food and cereal bars. The 53-yearold has extensive international experience in the food industry, which he will bring to his first Supervisory Board mandate. With Axel Hamm (Chairman), Dr. Heiner Olbrich (Deputy Chairman), Christina Oelbermann, Kim Tabet and Willi Schwerdtle, the Supervisory Board remains unchanged.
"During his tenure on the Supervisory Board, Thierry Paternot has set trends that have been extremely valuable for the development of the company. We owe him a great debt of gratitude for his commitment and wish him nothing but the very best for his personal future," explains Tim Berger, CEO of the Eckes-Granini Group. "At the same time, I look forward to working together with Rob Versloot. I am convinced that with his innovative spirit we will continue to succeed in providing real impulses for the market."
