潜水见解：
IFF is practically a different company than it was a year ago. It's a behemoth in the ingredients space with leadership positions in taste, texture, scent, nutrition, enzymes, cultures, soy proteins and probiotics.它已经重组了, with new Nourish, Scent, Health and Biosciences and Pharma Solutions divisions. The companydivested a microbial controls businessthat came to it through the DuPont merger and a food preparation business that came to it through a 2018 acquisition.
改革后的IFF在合并后销售方面表现出色。由于合并使销售号码偏斜，因此很难根据季度报告衡量当前的性能，但是Fibig很难在最近的收益电话中说this past August that the legacy business units of both IFF and DuPont grew in the single digits. Last month, the company更新了指导to predict full-year 2021 sales growth of 8% and an adjusted operating EBITDA margin of about 21.5%.
But in spite of the merger and its following successes, IFF has not been seen as performing to its potential. In the weeks after the merger, activist investor Sachem Head Capital reportedly购买了约10亿美元的IFF。Sachem Head's owner, hedge fund veteran Scott Ferguson, has a reputation for getting involved in companies as they are going through big changes. In response to Sachem Head's stake, IFF expanded its board to provide a seat for Ferguson.
对于新任首席执行官的IFF未来，IFF的未来非常乐观。Fibig宣布退休后公司的股价上涨了6.4％, Seeking Alpha reported. A new leader has the potential to bring new ideas and concepts to IFF as it molds into a bigger and more influential company in the space.
IFF目前还有很多其他运动，WICH可以改变公司开展业务的方式。CFO Jilla离开的消息同时出现company announced the hire of his replacement。IFF的新首席财务官Glenn Richter经历了将近三十年的经历，为跨国公司提供财务监督。他来自金融服务公司TIAA的IFF，他是CFO。
处理IFF的大部分成分业务的滋养部门也有新总统as of Sept. 1. Nicolas Mirzayantz, who has had a 33-year tenure at IFF, had led the Scent division for 14 years and had previously been the company's North America regional manager. The Scent division's new president is Christophe de Villeplee, who's worked at IFF more than two decades and had been the company's president of global consumer fragrances.
Several months after the DuPont merger seems to be a good time for transition at the top of IFF. The company is working toward integration, and the process and policies for doing that successfully are likely already in progress for its lower levels.
