Marfrig Global Foods announced Sept. 3 that Eduardo Miron has been named its new chief executive officer. Miron replaces Martнn Secco, who led the company since 2015.
Miron joined Marfrig in 2010 and, since 2016, has been the chief financial and investor relations officer while also serving as the chief financial officer of Keystone Foods in the United States. Before joining Marfrig, he worked for 10 years at Grupo Safra and for more than two decades at U.S.-based Cargill, where he held leadership positions in Brazil and the United States.
“The choice of Eduardo Miron as CEO underlines our commitment to a financially and operationally sustainable Marfrig. Miron was at the forefront of the company’s most recent strategic operations: the acquisition of controlling interest in National Beef and the divestment of Keystone. These transactions have transformed Marfrig into a simpler company focused on beef and supported by a global production and distribution platform,” said Marcos Molina dos Santos, the controlling shareholder and chairman of the board.
Marfrig also announced a new structure comprising two operations. The South America division will be led by Miguel Gularte, and include operations in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. North American operations include National Beef and the beef patty plant in North Baltimore, OH, and will continue to be led by Tim Klein, CEO of National Beef.
