Ruralco CEO Robert Sharkie Resigns
Ruralco Group CEO Robert Sharkie has announced his intention to resign after six years as CEO and a total of eight years with the Ashburton based co-operative.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Ruralco, the challenges it has provided, and I am very proud of Ruralco’s achievements during my time at the helm,” says Robert. “It is the dedication and passion of the people who work for Ruralco that has made these achievements possible and I commend them for their efforts and wish them well for the future.”
Ruralco Chair, Sir David Carter has accepted Robert’s decision with mixed emotions. “Rob’s contribution to Ruralco has been significant, but I respect his decision that the time is right for him to pursue another chapter in his life. He leaves with my complete support and best wishes for his future endeavours.”
The Board has asked Ruralco’s GM People and Culture, Tony Aitken, to step into the role of Acting CEO while the Board initiates a recruitment process to select a new CEO. Tony has a strong background in people leadership and was part of Synlait’s journey as it grew from 140 staff to over 1000. His Acting CEO position at Ruralco becomes effective from 1 September 2023.
