An investment banker with experience in mergers and acquisitions is the new vice-president of corporate development for Canada’s biggest grain handler.
Viterra on Monday announced Andrew Muirhead will lead the company’s “strategic business development and growth.” Muirhead, who starts immediately, will operate out of the company’s Calgary office.
Muirhead was previously a vice-president and director of investment banking for TD Securities. Before that he was executive director, mergers and acquisitions, for CIBC World Markets.
Regina-based Viterra completed its own merger in 2007 from the country’s biggest and second biggest grain handlers, Agricore United and Saskatchewan Wheat Pool respectively.
Viterra CEO Mayo Schmidt said Muirhead will be “leading our team to successfully execute on prospective initiatives to drive value.”
