“Our Board’s leadership has been critical to our portfolio
transformation, and with the addition of Ellen de Brabander we’re
adding new expertise to help power our growth,” said Chairman and
CEO Juan Luciano. “Ellen brings a broad scientific background and
deep R&D and innovation experience in human nutrition, life
sciences and animal health – which align well with many of the
growth opportunities ADM is pursuing.”
In her current role at Elanco, de Brabander drives early and
late-stage pipeline execution across pet health and farm animals,
including nutritional health solutions. She previously served as
senior vice president for R&D at PepsiCo, with company-wide
responsibility for food safety, quality, regulatory, and digital
transformation in R&D, and before that, for all product
innovations for the nutrition category. De Brabander has also held
executive leadership positions in Boehringer Ingelheim (then known
as Merial), Merck Animal Health (previously Intervet), and DSM. De
Brabander holds a Ph.D. in bio-organic chemistry from Leiden
University in The Netherlands, having completed post-doctoral work
in molecular biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
She has co-authored more than 60 publications in scientific
journals, holds 18 patents, and has received multiple awards for
her research, including the Golden Medal from the Royal Dutch
Chemical Society in 2000 for Best Chemist under 40. She was a
founding board member of the European Institute of Technology and
founding CEO of EIT Food, the largest public-private partnership in
the food sector.
ADM also announced that Lead Director Donald Felsinger will
retire from the Board, having reached the retirement age of 75.
“When Don Felsinger joined our Board of Directors in 2009, ADM
was a very different company,” Luciano said. “Over the last decade
and more, we’ve built a better ADM, and Don’s leadership and
guidance have been integral to that process of strategic
realignment and growth. Our entire company owes him thanks for his
invaluable service.”
Francisco Sanchez, a member of the Board since 2014, also has
determined not to stand for re-election.
“At a time of increasing global complexity, Francisco brought to
our Board important experience and expertise in public policy,
global trade and international investment,” Luciano said. “As we
made decisions around investments in key growth regions around the
world, we knew we could count on Francisco’s expertise to help
guide us. We appreciate his service to ADM, and wish him all the
best.”
