Turners & Growers, New Zealand's largest integrated fruit and vegetable marketer, named its international markets general manager Alastair Hulbert as new chief executive.
He replaces Geoff Hipkins, who left the company in March after media reports of a breakdown in his working relationship with the group's senior management.
Mr Hulbert and chief financial officer Harald Hamster-Egerer have led the company in the interim.
Mr Hulbert, who grew up on an asparagus farm, spent nine years as general manager of the company's export subsidiary Delica Global, with a focus on grower and customer relationships, before becoming head of international markets, the company says.
