Inge Demeyere named as MD for chocolate by Cargill

Demeyere began her career working in the vegetable oils sector and joined Cargill from Vandemoortele in 1998 as a purchasing manager. Following a range of roles in Cargill's European refined oils business, Demeyere started in the company's cocoa & chocolate business in 2009 as risk manager, later moving into the role of commercial director chocolate.

"This is an exciting time to become the new MD, chocolate, because not only are we experiencing strong cocoa, sugar and dairy market volatility, we are also growing the business by expanding our facilities in Rouen, Berlin and Mouscron," said Demeyere. "I look forward to taking on this role, to working to develop an even deeper knowledge of our customers' needs so we can add even more value and innovation."
