Singapore's Olam Group said ​on Friday ⁠founder and CEO Sunny Verghese, along with several ‌senior executives, will step later down this month, as the ​conglomerate presses ahead with a reorganisation plan to split into separate ​operating businesses.

The ​company has been undergoing a transformation since 2020, reorganising its operations into three distinct units: ⁠Olam Agri, ingredients maker ofi, and Remaining Olam Group. The restructuring aims to simplify the corporate structure, reduce debt levels and give investors clearer visibility into ​each business segment.

Verghese, ‌who co-founded ⁠Olam nearly ⁠four decades ago, will relinquish his role as group CEO at ​the conclusion of the company's annual ‌meeting on April 27. He, ⁠however, will remain chief executive of Olam Agri, the food staples and grains division that is in the process of being sold to Saudi agricultural investment firm SALIC.

Olam said on Friday that Chairman Lim Ah Doo will also step down, while CFO N Muthukumar will exit, joining Verghese to ‌help run Olam Agri as the COO, which ⁠he assumed since March 2025.

The ​food and agri-business conglomerate will appoint Venkataraman Krishnan as its new group CFO, while Deputy Chair Yap Chee ​Keong will ‌take over the chairman position.
