International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), specialist producer of aromas and flavourings, has announced that Keven Berryman, formerly of Nestlé Professional, will take the posts of Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer.

"We are very pleased to have Kevin join our IFF management team," said Robert Amen, CEO of IFF. "He brings a wealth of experience in managing a global finance organization. His expertise in strategy development, business decision support and people development will help to accelerate IFF`s growth and build a stronger company."

Kevin Berryman joins IFF a few weeks after the promotion of Christophe de Villeplée, previously president and director-general for the business’ perfumes in North America, to the post of Vice President Global Fine Perfumery and Hygiene Beauty.

This year, the company is strengthening its network elsewhere with the opening of a new laboratory in Sao Paolo in March and a new innovation and creation centre in Shanghai
