Agricultural and veterinary product supplier Shoof International has appointed Michaela Dumper as its new chief executive.

Dumper brings more than 25 years of leadership experience with roles at Goodman Fielder, BrewGroup Ltd, and MADE NZ (previously Epicurean Dairy NZ Ltd).

She takes over the role from Peter Reidie, who has served as acting managing director following the departure of Adam Bateman in August last year.

Reidie will continue to provide strategic guidance as a member of the company's Board.

"I am thrilled to join Shoof as CEO and take on this exciting challenge," says Dumper.

“Shoof has a strong legacy in the agricultural and veterinary sectors, and I look forward to working closely with the team to build on that foundation, drive innovation, and continue our commitment to serving farmers and veterinarians with top-quality products and solutions," she adds.

Reidie says that he and the board are confident that Dumper is the right person to take the company forward.

"Her leadership experience, particularly in driving business growth and transformation, aligns perfectly with Shoof’s goals for the future," he says.

"I look forward to supporting Michaela and the team as we continue to expand Shoof’s presence, both in New Zealand and internationally.”
