Alliance Group has appointed a new Head of Livestock and a new Chief Financial Officer.

 

Jamie Saker, who was previously in livestock management and agribusiness roles at the company, will re-join Alliance next month.

 

Jamie has over 30 years’ experience in the red meat and agribusiness industry, spanning livestock procurement, processing, international sales and trading.

 

Meanwhile, Rob Stowell has been appointed as Alliance’s new Chief Financial Officer.

 

Rob joins Alliance after almost two decades at Synlait. During his time with Synlait, Rob held various finance, commercial, strategy and transformation leadership roles as well as several executive positions, including Chief Financial Officer, Chief Commercial Officer, and most recently, Chief Supply Chain & Technology Officer.

 

“Jamie has a deep understanding of the Alliance business and the red meat sector,” says Niall Browne, Chief Executive of Alliance.

 

“His breadth and depth of knowledge about farming, processing and our global markets will be a significant boost to the team. Jamie is also a familiar face to many of our people and farmers, and we are looking forward to welcoming him back into the business.

 

“Rob is a seasoned executive with considerable financial, supply chain and technology experience as well as expertise in primary processing and manufacturing. We’re excited about Rob joining Alliance.”
