CORafael Álvarez, who has served as CEO of Alquería for seven years, will step down by the end of November to pursue new professional opportunities. During his tenure, he led the company through significant growth, including doubling its revenue to nearly $2 billion by 2025. This expansion was driven by diversifying the product portfolio beyond dairy into categories such as cheeses, yogurts, oat products, milk beverages, cream, arequipe, and snacks. Over 40% of the company’s sales now come from non-dairy categories, reflecting its shift toward a broader food business. Additionally, Alquería plans to test an innovation in Colombia that could reduce cow methane emissions by more than 80%. The board of directors praised Álvarez for his leadership and expressed confidence in the company’s future under new management.
