Leadership Transition at TFL
Leather chemicals supplier TFL has announced that chief executive André Lanning has stepped down from his role after deciding to pursue a new professional opportunity. His last day with the company was March 10.
Although leaving the executive position, Mr Lanning will remain closely involved with the organisation by joining the TFL Board of Directors.
According to the company, this move is intended to support continuity while allowing TFL to benefit from his experience during the transition period.

In the interim, chief commercial officer Samer Al Jabi has been named interim CEO. Mr Al Jabi, who joined TFL in 2025, has played a key role in shaping the company’s five-year strategic plan and global commercial initiatives.
