From 2011 to 2017, Parker was country manager for FQM in Peru, responsible for the design and implementation of FQM’s corporate strategy in Latin America, including Argentina and Chile.
Solis says he “will continue to provide valuable input as the company continues to pursue growth strategy to create shareholder value”.
