AMSTERDAM — To support the company’s decision-making processes, Corbion has refined its executive committee to six leaders.

This includes two key appointments: Oli Arnason as chief integrated supply chain officer (CISCO) and Yves Boland, PhD, as chief technology officer, effective July 15 and Sept. 1, respectively. Ruud Peerbooms, who most recently served as Corbion’s president of health and nutrition, has stepped into the chief commercial officer position.

“I am very happy to welcome Oli and Yves to our team and to see Ruud step into this new role,” said Olivier Rigaud, Corbion’s CEO. “Their combined expertise will be key as we strive to not only deliver innovative, sustainable solutions and exceptional service to our customers but also elevate our company performance and maximize shareholder returns.”
