He also brings a clear focus on delivering results that matter,” said ADM chief financial officer Ray Young. “At ADM, we’ve done great work improving our returns, and the investment community understands well the progress we’ve made. Now, as we focus on growing economic value, Mark and the IR team will continue to work with ADM colleagues to help investors understand our plans, our progress and our results.”
