Olam International has announced that Niall FitzGerald has been appointed as the chair of the board of directors for Olam Food Ingredients (OFI) effective Sept 9.

FitzGerald worked at Unilever for 37 years including 18 years as an executive board member, during which period he served as finance director, foods director and detergents director until his appointment as chair and CEO in 1996.
