Nick Goddard takes the helm of the Australian Oilseeds Federation (AOF) from May 1, replacing Rosemary Richards, who retires from the role after seven years.
President of the AOF, Robert Green, said today: “With the AOF representing an industry currently valued at over $2.5bln comprising growers, processors, oil and meal users and exporters, the AOF plays a key role in ensuring the industry speaks with one voice.
"Mr Goddard will play a key role in continuing to build industry unity, and guaranteeing that the voice of our members is heard and the AOF is represented on all relevant industry matters.”
Mr Goddard has worked for both Unilever and Goodman Fielder, two of the largest end-users of Australian produced vegetable oils, in roles covering marketing, communication and public affairs and has also been a member of the AOF executive for a number of
years.
He will be based in Sydney.
