Agro Farma Names CFO

Agro Farma, the maker of Chobani yogurt, has appointed Francoise Mattice to be its CFO. Mattice will head up the Norwich, N.Y.-based company’s strategic priorities for expansion while working closely with operations to accelerate the performance of current and future initiatives.

“She’s a great addition to our executive team, and through Francoise’s leadership, we look forward to continuing our exponential growth, as we take Agro Farma to the next level,” noted CEO and founder Hamdi Ulukaya, to whom Mattice will report.

Mattice brings more a quarter-century of financial expertise in consumer products, as well as the grocery and dairy industries, to her new position. She previously held executive financial roles in both major international public and privately owned companies, in various stages of development -- startup, fast-growing environments; turnarounds; and mature companies.

Chobani is the second-leading yogurt brand in the United States.
