Professional Journey

He led the launch of what was then ADM’s WILD Flavors and Specialty Ingredients business unit and later served as president of the Oilseeds business. He became a senior vice president of the company in November 2014, according to its 10-K.

In July 2019 he became president of the Agricultural Services and Oilseeds business unit, responsible for agricultural origination, global trading, transportation and oilseeds processing, with strategic oversight of ADM’s operations in South America. ADM’s 2026 proxy lists him among its named executive officers. He serves on the board of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and on Illinois State University’s Finance Advisory Board. ADM, based in Chicago, reported 2025 revenues of $80.3 billion across three reportable segments, Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions and Nutrition, according to its 10-K.

ADM’s 2026 proxy says the company’s 2025 results were affected by market volatility, shifting global trade conditions and continuing uncertainty around U.S. biofuel policy, factors its compensation committee weighed when setting annual incentive payouts for the named executive officers.
