LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC — Canadian dairy cooperative Agropur announced the promotion of Jean-François Dubé, who is now the company’s senior vice president of operations.

The international dairy processor and supplier said Dubé will continue the company’s efforts to increase efficiency and reliability across Agropur’s 29 production facilities in Canada and the United States.

Now in his seventh year with Agropur, Dubé’s newest responsibilities include leading the company’s operations transformation, which Agropur said involves ensuring consistent execution, delivering targeted growth and reinforcing a culture of excellence.

Most recently, Dubé held the title of vice president, strategic initiatives and organizational transformation.
