Swiss agriculture firm Ameropa AG named Bunge Ltd.’s William Dujardin as its new CEO, effective Jan. 8. He had been with Bunge since 2005, most recently serving as Vice President for North and Central Europe, and also worked for seven years at Louis Dreyfus Co.
The move means Andreas Zivy will return to his position as Chairman of the Swiss company. Zivy, a third-generation member of the firm’s founding family, has led the merchant since the departure of Jan Kadanik earlier this year.
