ADM has announced Ian Pinner has been appointed Senior vice president, president, nutrition, and chief sales and marketing officer. Pinner succeeds Vince Macciocchi, who announced his plan to retire from ADM at the end of this year.

“Ian is a natural fit to step into this important role and continue driving the exciting continued growth of our Nutrition business,” said chair of the board and chief executive officer Juan Luciano. “He has had a successful 24-year career at ADM leading significant P&Ls across multiple businesses and geographies, including the early stages of our Health & Wellness business. And importantly, Ian leads with a customer-first mindset – which is at the core of our Nutrition business’ success.”

Pinner joined ADM in 1999 and has served in a variety of senior leadership roles throughout the company, most recently serving as chief strategy and innovation officer for the past 5 years. In this role he has led ADM’s strategy, business development and M&A efforts, and ADM Ventures, and he developed the company’s growth innovation platforms, which have collectively provided a significant foundation for the advancement of ADM’s Nutrition business strategy and innovation.

Pinner’s previous roles at ADM include chief growth officer; president, Southeast Asia, Australia & New Zealand; president, Global Destination Marketing; president, Global Cocoa and Chocolate; vice president, Corporate Strategy and Financial Planning & Analysis; and president, ADM Grain, among many other leadership positions for the company.

“Vince has been a transformational leader for our company at a time when ADM was undergoing the most significant evolution in its 122-year history, and we would not be in an industry-leading position without his knowledge, passion and deep customer relationships,” said Luciano. “We appreciate his vast contributions and wish him the best in the next chapter of his career.”

The appointment is effective immediately. Macciocchi will support Pinner during the transition through year-end.
