'Strong platform to build from': Fonterra insider Richard Allen to be new CEO

Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd named Richard Allen as CEO, effective May 1, succeeding Miles Hurrell after his resignation in March.
Hurrell departed after a 25-year career with the dairy co-operative, saying the time was right to leave; he will remain in an advisory role until September 2026 to support the transition.
Allen joined the Business as a graduate in 2008, later leading Farm Source for five years and serving as President Atlantic in Chicago, responsible for global key accounts.
Chair Peter McBride said Allen brings a "strong connection with farmer shareholders" and deep knowledge of Fonterra's global operations and markets.
Committed to "maintaining the momentum in our performance," Allen aims to drive strategy and financial discipline for the New Zealand farmer-owned B2B dairy provider.
