Aryzta has an Irish director again, after a raft of departures that has left the once Irish-dominated board with a Swiss majority following a shareholder revolt. Cork native Gordon Hardie was elected to the board yesterday along with two other new directors, Jörg Riboni and Hélène Weber-Dubi. He is the sole Irish director on the Swiss-Irish group’s board. Coming into this year four of 10 Aryzta directors were Irish. US based Gordon Hardie is also a director of Greencore and is an experienced agri-foods executive. He holds dual Irish and Australian citizenship, and is a graduate of University College Cork and UCD’s Smurfit Graduate School of Business. He is a former president of global agri-food business Bunge Food & Ingredients.
