Givaudan Chief Executive Officer Gilles Andrier will retire in March 2026. He served as CEO for 20 years. Christian Stammkoetter, president Asia, Middle East & Africa at Danone, has been designated CEO, effective March 1, 2026.
The company also announced Chairman Calvin Grieder will step down from the board at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, after completing 12 years of service. Andrier is to be proposed for election as chairman.
“It has been an immense privilege and source of joy to lead Givaudan for the last 20 years and be part of its journey for over 30 years. I love this company, and its purpose, ‘Creating for happier, healthier lives with love for nature. Let’s imagine together,'” said Andrier. “Over the years, I have been incredibly fortunate to work with, and see develop, many talented individuals and teams. I’ve been equally inspired by our clients and am proud to contribute to the success of their brands. As we set out our strategic roadmap for the next five years, it is the right moment to announce the handover to Christian. I wish him every success for the future.”
Under Andrier’s leadership, Givaudan experienced significant growth driven by a successful strategy focused on geographic, customer and portfolio expansion, and over 20 strategic acquisitions. Between the end of 2004 and the end of 2024, Givaudan grew from 5,900 to 16,900 employees. Sales almost tripled to over $9.1 billion.
“We are incredibly grateful to Gilles for the tremendous contribution he has made to Givaudan, and the wider industry over the last 30 years,” said Grieder. “Through his visionary leadership, the company has consistently delivered industry-leading performance and created significant shareholder value. He is a purpose-led leader who has shaped and nurtured the strong culture and DNA of Givaudan, inspiring colleagues around the world.”
Incoming CEO Stammkoetter is Danone’s president for Asia, Middle East and Africa and a member of the executive committee. He brings over 25 years of global experience, from personal care to food, beverage and nutrition, and across multiple geographies. According to Givaudan, Stammkoetter has a proven track record of driving sustainable growth and value creation. He’s led high-performing teams, fostered a culture of innovation and creativity, combined with a strong customer focus and deep consumer understanding.
“We are excited to welcome Christian as Givaudan’s designated chief executive officer. Christian brings a wealth of global leadership experience across multiple regions and business areas, and a consistent record of high performance. His leadership skills and personality are a great cultural fit with Givaudan,” said Grieder. “The board is confident that Christian is the right leader to bring our 2030 strategy to life, delivering long-term value for all our stakeholders, and fostering the culture of innovation and excellence that is at the heart of our success.”
