World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) is continuing to reinforce its senior leadership team with the appointment of Peter Koegler as vice president, programmes. The vice president of programmes plays a major role in the organization as the spearhead for the work WCF does to facilitate transformative change in the cocoa sector. Koegler will design and lead the strategies for both WCF’s current programs and future ones, reporting directly to the WCF president.
Commenting on the appointment, Chris Vincent, president of WCF said, ‘‘Peter is joining us at a critical time, as the focus of our signature programs, the Cocoa & Forests Initiative (CFI), pivots towards large-scale multistakeholder landscape approaches to address the challenges of deforestation and promote reforestation. We welcome his extensive experience and innovation capabilities which will also enable us to co-create and lead new collaborative programmes that enable our members to deliver more impact at scale. ‘’
