He has been an invaluable member of our leadership team, with an unparalleled ability to create a culture of innovation and deliver creative and winning solutions to our customers while consistently strengthening the business through growth and margin expansion. Nicolas has transformed our Scent division into the global fragrance leader it is today, and I am confident that he will bring to Nourish the same passion, culture of breakthrough innovation, financial prowess and commitment needed to drive continued momentum with Nourish. I also want to thank Kathy for her leadership at a pivotal time for Nourish and we wish her the best as she embarks on her next chapter.”

“Since joining IFF more than 30 years ago, I have had the privilege of working closely together with each of the Company’s divisions, including Nourish,” said Nicolas Mirzayantz, President, Scent. “The opportunity for our Nourish division is significant and I know that I will be joining an impressive, creative team that is laser-focused on delivering industry-defining solutions for our customers. I’m equally pleased to know that Scent will continue its strong momentum with Christophe. I have had the privilege to work with him for the past 22 years and I know firsthand that he has the expertise and experience necessary to successfully lead the division into the future while upholding IFF’s collaborative, innovative and purpose-driven culture.”
Mr. de Villeplee, who currently serves as President, Global Consumer Fragrances, will assume Mr. Mirzayantz’ current role of President, Scent effective September 1, 2021.

Added Mr. Fibig: “I firmly believe that Christophe is the right leader for the IFF Scent division. He brings more than two decades of experience growing our customer relationships in consumer and fine fragrance globally and is well-positioned to oversee Scent’s future growth. I am excited to have him join our Executive Committee and know that he will continue to have successes leading our Scent division.”qw
“I am both proud and excited to start my new role as President of IFF’s Scent division and to lead such a passionate group of IFFers,” said Mr. de Villeplee. “Having worked closely with Nicolas for 22 years in the Scent division, I look forward to building on the incredible momentum that we have created to deliver continued innovation and growth for the division and our customers for years to come.”
