ICL announces strategic changes in its leadership with the aim of expanding and strengthening its presence in Europe. Gustavo Vasques (left in photo), previously CEO of ICL in South America, will assume the position of senior vice president of ICL Growing Solutions AG Europe from March 15th. This move is part of the company's strategic plan to innovate and advance its product portfolio in the European region, which represents a third of the Growing Solutions Division's sales. Vasques, with extensive leadership experience in multinational organizations, will focus on agricultural business and opening new markets in Europe.

With Vasques' transfer to Europe, Alfredo Kober (right in photo), previously vice president of commercial B2C, will be promoted to CEO of ICL in South America. Kober, who has a successful track record leading marketing and sales teams, will report directly to Elad Aharonson, global president from ICL Growing Solutions.

Gustavo Vasques, with a distinguished career in multinational companies, has contributed significantly to ICL's growth since joining the company in 2017. His experience includes leadership positions at Monsanto do Brasil, Georgia Pacific Resinas Internacionais, Sumitomo Chemical América Latina, and Compass Minerals, prior to its acquisition by ICL.

Alfredo Kober, in turn, has a solid background in agronomy and extensive experience in sales and marketing, having worked in renowned companies such as Rhodia, Monsanto, Bayer Cropscience, Dupont Pioneer, Multcom and Yara Fertilizers. At ICL, Kober successfully led the Agricultural Division's B2C team in South America, demonstrating his leadership capabilities and market knowledge.
