Beta Glass makes two appointments

Nigerian glass manufacturer Beta Glass has appointed Serge Joris as interim CEO and Hélène Paradisi as Chief Finance Officer. 

Earlier this year, Beta Glass, a member of the Frigoglass Group, changed the composition of its Board of Directors with the appointment of a new Chairman and three independent members.

Beta Glass will now proceed with changes to its management to compliment the transformation programme.

The programme is designed to enhance the company’s performance and deliver new levels of growth within Nigeria and in neighbouring markets.

In light of this, Mr Darren Bennett-Voci will step down as CEO on July 31st, 2024. 

In the meantime, Mr Serge Joris, Frigoglass Group CEO, will serve as interim CEO of Beta Glass until September 30th, 2024.

Mr Shanker Dhanikonda will step down as Chief Finance Officer (CFO) on August 5th, 2024, and will be succeeded by Ms Hélène Paradisi. 

Mr Dhanikonda will remain at the company until the latter part of 2024 to ensure a smooth transition. 

Dr Vitus Chidiebere Ezinwa, Chairman of the Beta Glass Board of Directors, said: “At Beta Glass we’re diligently continuing the business transformation of our company to seize and maximise the opportunities of the glass containers business in West and Central Africa.” 

Ms Paradisi is a senior accounting and financial management professional with more than 20 years of experience in sectors such as Logistics, Automotive, and Mining in several African countries. 

Prior to her appointment as CFO for Beta Glass, she served as Finance Director at the Automotive Division of CFAO in Nigeria. She also qualified as an auditor at PWC in Lyon, France, early into her career.

Dr Ezinwa said: “Ms Paradisi is a seasoned executive with significant experience of the wider African market and an excellent track record as a top-level financial manager. The Board is looking forward to working with her, as we collectively continue to elevate the company to an even higher level.”

He also thanked Mr Bennett-Voci and Mr Dhanikonda for “their dedication, excellent service, and valuable contribution" over their tenures at the company.
