Rory McAlpine, for 15 years Maple Leaf Foods’ government relations manager, is retiring.
His replacement is Nadia Theodore who is moving from the federal government to become vice president of Global Industry and Government Relations, effective Oct. 13.
Her most recent government job was Consul General of Canada in Atlanta, Georgia.
Since 2004 she has worked on global affairs and trade policy.
"Nadia's deep experience in global issues, her understanding of government and her diplomatic skills will be tremendous value to Maple Leaf Foods," said Michael McCain, president and chief executive officer.
"We are grateful for Rory McAlpine's long-standing leadership of industry and government relations and we know that Nadia will be an outstanding successor."
