“The appointment of Ioffe to this newly created position reflects the company’s strategic objective of enhancing operating efficiency and management of resources through the in-depth integration of group subsidiaries,” the company said.


Ioffe, who as deputy CEO will report to CEO Sergei Plastinin, comes to Wimm-Bill-Dann from French dairy giant Groupe Danone, where he headed up Danone’s Russian operations.


Last year merger talks between Wimm-Bill-Dann and Danone collapsed without a deal being reached.
