"Bill has been a valued member of our management team since 2000 and made a significant contribution to Bunge during a critical period in its 189-year history," said Alberto Weisser, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bunge Limited. "Bill's financial leadership was instrumental to the success of Bunge's initial public offering and its acquisition of Cereol, as well as the creation of the strong growth position the company enjoys today. We wish him success in his new job. In the coming months Drew will work closely with Bill and me in preparation for serving as interim CFO."
"The past seven years with Bunge have been the most exciting and fulfilling of my career," stated Mr. Wells. "Bunge has a bright future, and I will miss the people here a great deal, but I am looking forward to applying my 17 years of experience in the food industry to new and interesting professional challenges. I am also excited by the opportunity to return to Canada where I grew up and have family."
