Fonterra's communications boss Kerry Underhill has left the co-op after only two years on the job.

With no official word from the co-op and Underhill no longer appearing as a member of the co-op's management team on its website, this one is a mystery.

We believe it may be linked to the Fonterra board's recent re-think on the co-op's communications strategy.

With so many great stories to tell in New Zealand and around the world, Fonterra should not be holding back.
