A statement from the company revealed a disagrement between Harkjaer and private equity owners Lion Capital.
“Lion Capital and Per Harkjaer, CEO of FoodVest, have agreed that, due to differing perspectives on how to manage FoodVest going forward, Per will leave the business within the next few weeks,” FoodVest said in a statement to IntraFish.
Harkjaer did not wish to comment on the circumstances surrounding his departure.
He joined Findus five years ago and was at the head of the merger between Findus and Young’s Seafood that created the company.
