Aurivo has nominated its former director Sean Sweeney to the board of Ornua.
Under new governance rules at Ornua, Sweeney resigned as director of Aurivo and will take up his position on the board in six months’ time.
In the interim, Aurivo has nominated Helen Brophy of the UCD Smurfit School of Business and former CEO of the National Dairy Council to take up the position on the Ornua board.
Strong asset
Sweeney, an experienced co-op director, previously held a number of roles on both Aurivo audit and rules subcommittees. As well as being a dairy farmer based in Killala, Co Mayo, Sweeney also holds an interest in the Western Pastures dairy farm in Roscommon.
Chair of Aurivo Pat Duffy said: “Sean has steered our business through a number of rule reviews. It is with that experience and his overall perspective on the Irish dairy sector, that I believe he will be a strong asset to the board of Ornua.
“Helen brings a wealth of experience in leadership, change management and organisation effectiveness being former CEO of the National Dairy Council and head of consumer foods here at Aurivo.”
