ADM shakes up structure
ADM Cocoa has restructured its organisation into five key regions and business units as it looks to enhance the level of service and support offered to customers by its global cocoa and chocolate team.
The firm has announced that Grant Belden has been named general manager, global trading, sourcing and semi-finished. Benoit Villers will lead Global Gourmet and marketing with responsibility for the recently launched Dezaan Gourmet collection ̶ a new line of cocoa products specially developed for artisan bakers and chefs.
Chris Beetge now heads up Europe and the Middle East and Dennis Whalen will remain in charge of the Americas. Yeong Chye continues as managing director, Cocoa Asia, where ADM has expanded its cocoa processing site in Singapore.
