We wish him all the best in his new role,” said Robert Day, President and Chief Executive Officer at Ceres. “On behalf of Ceres and its Board, I am pleased to welcome John Haug to Ceres. John’s deep knowledge of the commodities sector and his broad experience as a leader of finance and accounting job families across many geographies worldwide will help facilitate Ceres’ continued growth and positive momentum while we conduct our upcoming search for Kyle’s permanent replacement.”
