Rybarczyk joins Incitec Pivot following a 20-year career with Australian conglomerate Wesfarmers, where she held several senior executive roles.

This transition follows the recent appointment of former Dyno Nobel Asia-Pacific President Greg Hayne, who moved into his new role as Dyno Nobel Americas President on October 1, now based in Salt Lake City, Utah. To ensure smooth operations until Rybarczyk’s start date, Deon Louw will serve as interim President of Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific.
