Wild is putting together an experienced team in preparation for its planned initial public offering, tapping Symrise's CFO to take it through the process.
The plan to go public in 2010 was announced in September, and will necessitate restructuring of Wild and its European companies.
Part of the preparation for this significant move is the hiring of Rainer Grimm as its new chief financial officer. Grimm played a major role in the IPO of fellow German flavour supplier Symrise's in 2006, which Wild credits as being "one of the most successful"of that year".
