Kim Ballinger begins in the role on December 14, 2020.
The AsureQuality board of directors has announced the appointment of Kim Ballinger as chief executive, effective 14th December 2020.
“Kim has been chosen through a competitive selection process from a strong field of candidates,” AsureQuality chair Dr Alison Watters said.
“She is a highly experienced international executive with a strong background in the food industry, holding multiple senior roles in Fonterra, its joint-venture partners, and legacy companies for the last two decades.”
Most recently, Ballinger was chief executive at Tip Top Ice Cream, where she led the business over three years before ultimately preparing and closing the divestment of the company to Froneri in late May 2019.
Ballinger is passionate about New Zealand’s food and primary industries, where growers, farmers, producers, and others right through the supply chain, work hard to proudly uphold what Aotearoa stands for in food – a higher standard of quality and safety.
“We are very excited to have Kim joining and leading our AsureQuality team as we continue helping Aotearoa shape a better food world,” Dr Watters said.
