Under the re-jig, around 30 of ADM’s top executives will have new roles or increased responsibilities.


A notable move will see executive vice president John Rice lead ADM’s new commercial and production division. Rice will oversee global origination, merchandising, processing and marketing across ADM’s major business lines.


Meanwhile, Steve Mills, senior vice president for strategic planning, will take on additional responsibility for specialty food ingredients.


“The reorganisation represents the next step in our process to position ADM for continued success,” said ADM president and CEO Patricia Woertz.
