Manly, currently executive vice president, succeeds Daniel G. Stevens, who will change responsibilities and become senior financial advisor to Groupe Smithfield, a major component of Smithfield’s growing European operations that include the Sara Lee assets acquired by Smithfield earlier this year.
“Bo Manly brings deep industry experience and knowledge of finance to this new assignment,” said C. Larry Pope, Smithfield president and chief executive officer. “His experience will be a great asset as we continue to capitalize on our integrated model and execute our growth strategies.”
“At the same time, we are delighted that Dan has accepted a position as the senior financial advisor to Groupe Smithfield, based in Paris. As we have already demonstrated, Smithfield has a major growth initiative underway in Europe, and Dan’s experience in financial and treasury operations will be a key contributor to our efforts,” Mr. Pope added. “Dan has extensive European experience and is familiar with the European markets and diverse operating cultures. The integration of the former Sara Lee operations is going very well and Dan’s presence will enable us to accelerate our efforts,” he said.
