David Hoover, who will remain on the Board as an independent director. “It has been a privilege to serve as chairman of Elanco’s board to help guide the company through its first five years as an independent public company,” said R. David Hoover. “In that period, we have transformed Elanco into a diversified, durable animal health leader with greater global scale, a more balanced product mix, and a strong omnichannel presence in the pet health industry. The board has had an intentional plan to evolve our governance and leadership over time as the company has matured, including the initiation of our leadership succession plan, which began this past summer. With the standup and the successful integration of Bayer Animal Health behind us and an exciting future of long-term value creation expected ahead with anticipated blockbuster innovation launches, it is the right time to execute our plans. We are fortunate to have Lawrence in place to assume the role of chairman. He has a valuable mix of global business expertise, brand-building insights, a track record of value creation, and significant corporate governance experience. I look forward to continuing to work closely with him and our colleagues on the board and management team to guide the company’s future success.” Read more>> Lawrence Kurzius to be Elanco's next chairman of board Lawrence Kurzius Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer that strives to sustainably transform the quality of life every day for 80 percent of the world with its products and services, João Marcelo Gomes as President of Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – EMENA (Europe, Middle East, and North Africa) following the promotion of Dr. Stefaan Van Dyck to Group President – Animal Nutrition and Health for Kemin Industries worldwide.
