Packaging products provider Greif is reorganizing its finance department, the company announced yesterday. As part of the reorganization, which will be complete by January 1, 2006, Greif’s Vice President and CIO, Ken Andre, will also serve as corporate controller. Andre is no stranger to the world of dollars and cents: he earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Notre Dame (Go Fighting Irish!) and began his career as an auditor with Coopers and Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers.) He then joined Van Leer Containers as a staff accountant and later moved into IT. Andre appeared in a feature on global business in the April 1, 2001, issue of CIO.
