Symrise taps Martin Huber as chief financial officer from April 2027

Nov 10 (Reuters) - German flavours and fragrances group Symrise said on Tuesday that Martin Huber will step into the role of chief financial officer from April next year, replacing Olaf Klinger.

"As part of our long-term succession planning, we are pleased to welcome Martin Huber," said Michael Koenig, chair of the supervisory board, in a statement published after market close.

Current CFO Klinger said he did not intend to seek a further term at Symrise beyond January 2028 and felt it was the right moment to step down.

Huber previously served as financial officer at Nestle's Nespresso brand and Swiss food company Aryzta.
