Fonterra is pleased to confirm the appointment of
Teh-han Chow to the role of Chief Executive Officer, Greater
China.
Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell says since December 2019, Teh-han has been at the helm in an acting capacity, overseeing the Co-op’s overall Greater China business, including Ingredients, Foodservice, Consumer Brands and China Farms.
“He’s made an impressive contribution. It’s certainly not been a steady-state. Teh-han has been responsible for implementation of our new strategy across the Greater China business, and over the course of this calendar year, has shown outstanding resilience, resourcefulness and empathy in getting his team and our China business through the ongoing challenge of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
“Teh-han’s leadership
has helped keep us in good shape during a very challenging
set of circumstances, and I’m delighted to welcome him
formally to the Fonterra Management Team – it’s well
deserved”.

experience leading large organisations in the food sector,
as well as proven ability in business growth through
