Ike Lynch has resigned his position of COO effective today and will remain a consultant to NutraCea. Both Lynch and Gingras will reside in Phoenix, Arizona, where NutraCea is in the process of relocating its new corporate offices. Lynch has agreed to remain a consultant, on an exclusive basis, for a term of two-and-a-half years. He will maintain an active and ongoing role in operations with regard to the construction and commissioning of domestic and international plant build-outs.
"I look forward to working closely with Leo, a man whose reputation and experience I believe to be unequaled in the industry. Having him on board, not only gives the company more management depth, but also gives a layer of operational redundancy that is so important at a time when we are experiencing rapid and unprecedented growth," said Lynch of NutraCea.
