Nomad Foods, the owner of brands such as Birds Eye, Aunt Bessie’s, and Goodfella’s, has announced the appointment of Ruben Baldew as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective 17 June.
He will succeed Samy Zekhout, who is leaving his position to “explore new opportunities outside of Nomad Foods”.
Baldew joins Nomad Foods with over 20 years of consumer products experience, most recently as CFO of Accell Group from November 2018 until October 2023. Prior to that, he spent over 15 years at Unilever in various finance roles.
Commenting on Baldew’s apointment, Stefan Descheemaeker, Chief Executive of Nomad Foods, said: “He is a dynamic leader with extensive experience in both financial leadership as well as other senior executive positions, which will bolster our strong foundations and strategic plans.”
Earlier this month, Nomad Foods reported that its volume declines had moderated in the first quarter of the year as growth initiatives and marketing investment yielded results.
