José Alexandre Carneiro Borges has resigned as the chief financial and investor relations officer for BRF, a Brazil-based meat, poultry and food company.

He had held that position for about a year, replacing Augusto Ribeiro Júnior, who had been dismissed from the company.

The resignation was revealed in an announcement to the market, issued on March 10. The announcement also stated that Pedro de Andrade Faria will temporarily cumulate the position of investor relations officer and global chief executive officer. Elcio Mitsuhiro Ito will temporarily be the head of the company’s finance area.

The notice further stated that BRF is focused on the development of its management model, and related details will be shared with the market and with shareholders by the end of March.

Innovation, marketing and quality officer also resigns

Rodrigo Reghini Vieira, who has served BRF in a leadership capacity in its innovation, marketing and quality operations, has also resigned from the company. A replacement for him, whether temporary or permanent, has not been announced.

BRF is ranked among the top five companies in the world both as a chicken processor and as a pig producer.

The company has been very active with mergers and acquisitions lately, with the most recent announcement coming earlier in 2017, as the company stated its plans to acquire a majority share in Banvit, the largest poultry integrator in Turkey.

BRF was also recently listed as one of the highest rated poultry and pig processing companies globally in terms of animal care. The Business Benchmark on Animal Welfare (BBFAW) report, released earlier in 2017, identified BRF as a company which had animal welfare programs integral to its business strategy.
