Icelandic processing equipment supplier Marel has appointed Sebastiaan Boelen as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.

The announcement comes as Stacey Katz, who has served as Marel’s CFO for nearly a decade, steps down from her role by mutual agreement. Katz will remain in an advisory capacity until the end of the financial year to ensure a smooth transition and the continued delivery of Marel’s strategy.
Arni Sigurdsson, Chief Executive Officer of Marel, expressed his enthusiasm for Boelen’s appointment: “I am delighted to welcome Sebastiaan to Marel. His extensive experience and global perspective will be invaluable as we continue to execute our strategy and achieve our medium-term targets. Sebastiaan’s appointment is pivotal in unlocking Marel’s significant potential.”
