Sydney, 7 July 2026: Ferrero has appointed Terence Viney as General Manager - Australia and New Zealand. Terence brings 15 years’ experience with the Ferrero Group, having started his career with the company in Australia before holding senior leadership positions across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, most recently as General Manager of Ferrero Israel. 

Terence will lead Ferrero's Australia and New Zealand business, spanning iconic brands such as Ferrero Rocher, Kinder, Nutella and Tic Tac, while supporting expansion beyond its core confectionery range into ice cream, biscuits and better-for-you categories. 

Terence succeeds Massimo D'Ambrosio, who now moves to a new role within the Ferrero Group in the United States. Terence said: “Returning to Australia is a real privilege, and I’m proud to take on this role at such an important time for the business. We have a strong team with clear momentum, and I look forward to building on that foundation. 

“We continue to focus on bringing moments of joy to Australians through brands they know and trust, while expanding into new categories and consumption occasions. We will remain disciplined in our approach to innovation and sustainable growth, with a clear focus on delivering long-term value for our retail partners - and more moments of joy for all those who love our products.” 

Australia and New Zealand are key growth markets for Ferrero in Asia Pacific, supported by the Lithgow manufacturing site in New South Wales, which produces Nutella for domestic and export markets across the region. 

Jerome Gray, Managing Director - Ferrero Asia Pacific, said: “Australia and New Zealand play a critical role in Ferrero’s broader Asia Pacific strategy, with Australia also serving as an important regional manufacturing hub. 

“With more than 30 years of FMCG experience and senior Ferrero leadership across multiple international markets, Terence returns to Australia bringing a global perspective and local understanding required to drive continued growth.”
