MARCUS Blackmore will become the Interim Chief Executive Officer of Blackmores Limited, after the company yesterday confirmed its outgoing CEO Richard Henfrey would step down on 29 Mar.
Henfrey, who has headed the company for just over 18 months since the departure of his predecessor Christine Holgate, last month announced his shock resignation (PD 27 Feb 2019).
Blackmore, the son of company founder Maurice Blackmore, will take over from 01 Apr, with Chairman Brent Wallace saying he would "lead the work to streamline the company, to achieve ongoing success for our business, our people and our shareholders".
A search for a permanent CEO is now under way by the firm's Board.
