AgroFresh announces changes in leadership

The AgroFresh Solutions Board of Directors announced that Thomas Macphee, chief executive officer, has stepped down from his position as of March 10. In addition, Stan Howell will step down from his position as president at the end of April.

The board has formed a search committee to evaluate candidates to serve as the company’s next leader, in which the chief executive officer and president roles will be consolidated.

On an interim basis, the responsibilities of chief executive officer and president will be assumed by an office of the chair, which will be comprised of Nance Dicciani, chair of the board, and Stephen Trevor, a director of AgroFresh and the former CEO of Boulevard, which acquired the AgroFresh business in July 2015. Dicciani will focus on business operations and Trevor will focus on financial matters and investor relations.
