Nomad Foods has named Dominic Brisby as Executive President, CEO-elect, and member of the board, effective 3 November 2025. Brisby will work alongside current CEO Stéfan Descheemaeker until his retirement on 1 January 2026, after which Brisby will assume the role of chief executive. Descheemaeker will remain on the board as a non-executive director.
