LONDON (Alliance News) - Stevia ingredients producer PureCircle Ltd on Thursday said it has appointed Rakesh Sinha as chief financial officer following the retirement of William Mitchell.

He is currently CFO for Latin America, South and Eastern Europe at Unilever Food Solutions.
Sinha will join PureCircle on April 25 and will take over from Mitchell as CFO upon his retirement later in the year.

We believe he will bring to PureCircle a great combination of relevant industry knowledge, proven international experience, strong leadership to our finance team and a valuable contribution to our board," Chairman Paul Selway-Swift said in a statement.
