Executive Overview

Every day at Cargill we work across the globe to nourish the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable way. I am humbled to lead Cargill’s Animal Nutrition & Health business – a company that nourishes the animals who nourish each of us. Since joining Cargill in 1992, I have witnessed the agriculture industry’s drastic transformation and am a believer that this is just the beginning. Our industry must continue to evolve with new technologies and innovations to feed our ever-growing population. As a leader at Cargill and member of the executive board, I am excited to be part of this change, working with our teams, partners, local governments, and non-profit organizations to nourish the world and to address global issues facing our industry — including food insecurity, climate change, deforestation, water conservation, and more. Engage and learn more about our work at FeedingIntelligence.com and Cargill.com.
