Greuel officially begins the role on July 31 and will replace Rick Burton, who’s retiring on Aug. 15 after almost 40 years with the provincial ag ministry.
His colleagues at Protein Industries Canada are confident he will have success back at the provincial ag ministry.
“Bill has demonstrated strong leadership to Protein Industries Canada and has been instrumental in our success to date,” Chair of the Board of Directors Tyler Groeneveld said in a statement. “Under his leadership the organization has grown from one employee to 26, and currently manages investments worth more than half a billion dollars. We are grateful for Bill’s leadership and wish him well in his new role.”
