A2 Milk company chief executive Jayne Hrdlicka has stepped down as chief executive 17 months after she started in the role, citing demanding international travel and family commitments
.
"The reality however is that the next 3-5 years will continue to require the CEO being present in our core markets of China and the US and that combined with running a New Zealand company based in Australia required more travel than I had anticipated when I joined the company."The Board and I agreed that this next phase is going to be too difficult to manage alongside my other commitments whilst also managing the health and wellness priorities of my family and me," she said.
With the prospect that a new CEO would have to serve a notice period with their existing employer, Mr Hearn said that this meant he would "love" to have the company's next CEO in place for a2's next annual general meeting.
