State Grain Trader Admarc Appoints Deputy CEO Outside Approved Structure
What happened
Admarc, a state grain trader, revived the position of deputy chief executive officer and appointed Aubrey Sumbuleta to the role, which is outside the company's approved establishment. This appointment occurred three years after Admarc cut its workforce from approximately 4,000 to 1,585 in 2023 to reduce salary costs. The Comptroller of Statutory Corporations confirmed the post was created on a need basis and does not appear on Admarc’s approved staff structure.
