SABMiller chief financial officer, Jamie Wilson, has announced he is resigning for personal reasons.

Wilson steps down from the board with immediate effect and will leave the group on 31 March 2015, at the end of the current financial year.

Domenic De Lorenzo, currently director of group strategy, will become acting chief financial officer with immediate effect, reporting to chief executive, Alan Clark. SABMIller said it has launched a search for a permanent replacement.

Clark said: “I am saddened by Jamie’s departure. He has been a huge support to me over many years, first in Europe and then over the past several years as CFO. His contributions to the development of our strategy, the delivery of our business capability programme, the building of our new business efficiency programme, and the strengthening of the finance functions will be a lasting legacy. He leaves the group in sound financial health, and we all wish him every success in the future.”
