Hein Schumacher
CEO Schumacher's proven record of portfolio simplification and financial discipline from Unilever and Heinz is a strong fit for Barry Callebaut's immediate recovery needs.
According to sources, while Schumacher is a financially astute and decisive leader, he is also a "weak strategist" with a polarizing, top-down leadership style.
His KPI-driven approach is suited for immediate cost savings, but sources say his poor strategic capabilities pose a risk to the critical mandate of a customer-centric recovery.
