Symrise is on the lookout for a new president of its Scent & Care unit after Jörn Andreas decided to step down.
Andreas (pictured) previously led the German giant’s Cosmetic Ingredients division before taking over the management of Scent & Care in February 2023.
With his departure, Symrise CEO Dr. Jean-Yves Parisot will temporarily take over the management of the Scent & Care segment.
“Dr. Jörn Andreas has decided to leave Symrise on his own request to continue his career outside the company,” said a Symrise spokeswoman.
“The search for a successor for the management of the segment has already been initiated,” she added.
Parsiot was previously heading up Symrise’s Taste, Nutrition & Health segment, which will now be led by Walter Ribeiro.
Ribeiro, who has been promoted to the executive board, was previously global head of its Food & Beverage division.
Michael König, chairman of the Symrise supervisory board, said: "In 13 years at Symrise, Dr. Jörn Andreas has taken on increasing responsibility in Germany and abroad.
“In his role on the Board of Management, he most recently made a significant contribution to the successful realignment of the Scent & Care segment, for which we owe him a great debt of gratitude. We wish him all the best for his professional and private future.”
