Next, we go to ingredients giant Ingredion, which will say goodbye to CFO and executive vice president Cheryl Beebe on January 6 as she retires due to family health issues.

She will be replaced by Jack Fortnum (pictured left) - currently president of Ingredion, North America, who will in turn be replaced by Asia Pacific and EMEA president, and former CEO at National Starch, James Zallie (pictured above).

CEO Ilene Gordon said: "Cheryl has been a great partner over the past four years and has helped take Ingredion to new heights.”

She added: “Jack has a long and varied financial background along with a decade of highly successful operating experience running our largest business.

“We're also fortunate to have Jim Zallie on-board. Jim… has a long and successful history of running starch-related businesses. Since coming to Ingredion, he has added additional strategic thinking on innovation and specialty starches.”
