Food processing and packaging giant Tetra Pak has appointed Boris Munster as the new Managing Director of its Oceania business, taking the reins from Andrew Pooch who stepped down to retire after 35 years with the company.
Munster will bring to his new role extensive global commercial experience in the food and beverage and retail industry after serving across multiple regions in Europe and North America.
As Managing Director for Oceania, Munster will oversee Tetra Pak’s business operations in Australia and New Zealand and will be based in Melbourne for the new role.
Munster joined Tetra Pak 15 years ago as a retail account manager in Belgium and has since held a roster of roles within the company.
He recently held the position of key account director for contract manufacturing in the United States and Canada, where he is credited for successfully growing the team and facilities while also being heavily involved with the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
“Boris brings a strong commercial acumen and a broad set of knowledge from his experience working in Europe and North America, making him an outstanding candidate for the role,” said Pooch.
“I’m confident that his hunger for success – combined with his years of industry expertise – will be invaluable in bringing the next chapter of growth at Tetra Pak in Oceania,” the outgoing managing director added.
“I am thrilled to take on this role and lead our amazing team at Tetra Pak Oceania to deliver innovative packaging and processing solutions for our customers and help them advance their sustainability goals by delivering solutions that can decarbonise the food industry,” Munster said. “Oceania is well poised for its next chapter of growth and I look forward to working with the team to take the business to new heights.”
