Global Dairy Platform (GDP) announced the appointment of Jan Derck van Karnebeek, CEO of Royal FrieslandCampina, as Chair of the Board of Directors. Van Karnebeek succeeds Miles Hurrell, CEO of Fonterra, who has served as Chair since 2023. The appointment takes effect immediately.
Jan Derck van Karnebeek: “It is an honour to become Chair of GDP and to build on the strong foundation that has been laid together with the Board. Under Miles’ leadership, GDP elevated the dairy sector’s integrated story, strengthening the industry’s position. The current global challenges of providing healthy and affordable food in a sustainable way are significant. This makes it even more important for dairy companies to continue working together across borders. I look forward to building on this work and continuing to underline the global relevance of the dairy sector.”
