Its global footprint covers key markets in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. By leveraging local insights and cross-border capabilities, IFF helps clients tailor formulations to specific cultural tastes and regulatory requirements while maintaining consistent quality and supply security.
Leadership at IFF emphasizes a culture of collaboration, creativity and responsible sourcing. Under the guidance of CEO Frank Clyburn, who took the helm in early 2022, the company has strengthened its commitment to sustainability, digital transformation and health-focused innovation. IFF’s executive team brings together decades of experience in science, operations and commercial strategy, driving initiatives to reduce environmental impact, advance circularity and unlock new growth opportunities in emerging markets.
