The current president of pork firm Pilgrim’s UK, Ivan Siqueira, has been appointed as president of Pilgrim’s Europe. The expanded role means Siqueria will also have responsibility for poultry giant Moy Park.
The company said the post was a new strategic position within Pilgrim’s Pride and will enable greater collaboration among the organisation’s businesses in Europe, including Pilgrim’s UK, Moy Park, Pilgrim’s Food Masters and Pilgrim’s Shared Services.
Ivan Siqueira said: “I’m honoured to take on this new strategic position which I believe will bring the business units closer together while allowing us to pursue organic growth and enhance our acquisition strategy to continue building the best food company in the region.
