Alliance Group CEO Steps Down Following Dawn Meats Takeover
The chief executive of New Zealand meat processor Alliance Group has stepped down. This occurred just weeks after Dawn Meats acquired a majority stake in the business.
According to the The Irish Times, Willie Wiese has resigned from his role as CEO. In a move aimed at ensuring continuity during the transition, Niall Browne, group chief executive of Dawn Meats, will assume the role of acting CEO of Alliance Group.
The leadership change follows Dawn Meats’ recent investment. This marked a significant step in the Irish processor’s international expansion strategy. Alliance Group is one of New Zealand’s major farmer-owned meat cooperatives. It has a strong focus on beef and lamb processing for export markets.
