International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. announced the recent passing of Dale F. Morrison, Chair of the IFF Board. Morrison served more than a decade as a member of the IFF Board, including as Chair since February 2022. Under his steadfast leadership, the company delivered on an ambitious global transformation, strengthening its position as an industry leader, setting new standards for innovation and R&D, and restoring a commitment to operational excellence.

He worked closely with IFF's leadership team and Board to oversee a period of growth as IFF solidified its essential role in the CPG value chain. Morrison was 74. Morrison notified IFF earlier this year of his intent to retire from the Board at the 2023 Annual Shareholder Meeting, due to health reasons, and Roger W. Ferguson, Jr., current member of the IFF Board, succeeds Morrison as Board Chair, effective immediately.

Morrison was a respected leader in the business community, having held several leadership positions at major companies, including McCain Foods Limited, Campbell Soup Company, General Foods, PepsiCo and Fenway Partners. He also served as a founding partner of Twin Ridge Capital Management—a private equity firm—and founded TriPointe Capital Partners in 2011. Over the course of his career, he was widely recognized for his strategic acumen, passion for innovation and unmatched leadership.
