François Fraudeau plans to retire as president and chief executive officer of Novus International after 28 successful years with the company. Novus’s board of directors has decided to hire a former Novus executive, Dan Meagher, to be the next president and CEO, effective April 1, 2020. To ensure a smooth transition, Dan joined the company on October 14, 2019, as executive vice president and general manager prior to assuming the role of president and CEO in April. Dan Meagher previously held the position of president and chief executive officer with Agrivida, Inc.

During his career in animal nutrition, Dan Meagher held various successful positions with Purina Mills, MBA Poultry, Moark, Novus, and lately, Agrivida. He has extensive experience in the industry and with customers in the U.S.A. and abroad. Dan’s achievements will bring high value as Novus desires to become a more global leader in developing sustainable products and solutions for animal production.
