“It is an honor to be recognized as International Executive of the Year by a group that does so much to promote and advance business leadership across the Chicagoland area. I see this foremost as recognition for my 40,000 ADM colleagues across the world – each day they amaze me with their focus on delivering our purpose of unlocking the power of nature to enrich the quality of life. Thank you to the Executives’ Club of Chicago – for more than a century building vitality and engagement within the Chicago business community – while developing new generations of leaders to sustain and grow this into the next century.”
