Nomad Foods, the owner of brands such as Birds Eye, Aunt Bessie’s, and Goodfella’s, has appointed Steven Libermann as its Group Executive President, effective immediately.
As a member of Nomad Foods’ executive committee, he will be responsible for “driving profitable growth” across all of the company’s 22 markets and channels.
Libermann joined Nomad Foods as part of the acquisition of Findus in 2015, where he was CEO of Southern Europe. He has led Nomad Foods’ Southern Europe region (Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal) since July 2018. In January 2023, he took responsibility for its UK & Ireland business and Global Sales, before being appointed as Executive President FBN (France, Belgium, Netherlands), Southern Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal), UK & Ireland and Global Sales in July 2023.
Libermann’s earlier career included international marketing positions at Nestlé and BIC, plus time as Managing Director at Senoble and as a Senior Equity Fund Advisor.
Commenting on the appointment, Stéfan Descheemaeker, Nomad Foods’ Chief Executive, said: “With us since the creation of Nomad Foods nine years ago, Steven has been central to helping us get to where we are today, as Europe’s leading frozen food company.
“Extending his role will enable us to focus on driving growth across all of our markets, continuing to build the frozen food category and cementing our relationships with our commercial partners, allowing us to reach even more families with our iconic brands and products.”
Nomad Foods saw its volume decline moderate in the first quarter of this year as growth initiatives and marketing investment yielded results.
