The Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) announced the appointment of Tim Ryan as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Tim joined AMIC in 2022 and has played a pivotal role in advocating on behalf of members. With an extensive background in the red meat industry, he has been instrumental in addressing some of the most critical issues facing the meat industry across all sectors, including changes to animal welfare standards, advocating for retail member interests in competition inquiries, and pushing back on the scope creep of dietary guidelines.
AMIC Chair Tom Maguire welcomed Tim’s appointment, stating, “On behalf of the board, we are proud to appoint Tim as CEO of AMIC. He brings a deep understanding of our industry and a clear vision for its future. More importantly, he can unite the entire post-farmgate meat sector – an industry with $41 billion in turnover and directly employing 64,000 jobs – under the AMIC banner. His leadership will be instrumental as we continue to advocate for our members and strengthen the industry’s position both locally and globally.”
Tim’s appointment follows an extensive recruitment process to identify a leader who can steer AMIC through an evolving regulatory landscape, changing consumer expectations, technological advancements, and environmental considerations.
