This newly created role, reporting to the president and CEO of Lantic, will reinforce succession plans, help improve the efficiency of decision making, and address important strategic decisions.

John Holliday, President and CEO of Lantic stated: “Mike’s experience at Lantic makes him the perfect fit for this important and strategic role for the future of our business. Mike’s excellent leadership skills will certainly be instrumental in helping the highly skilled Maple and Sugar teams in our journey of becoming the leading North American Natural Sweetener Supplier.”

Rogers Sugar also announced that after twelve years with the corporation and seven years as vice-president, finance, CFO and secretary, Manon Lacroix has decided to move on to the next chapter of her career.
