Rowe will report directly to Chairman and CEO Juan Luciano. His new mandate encompasses the oversight of ADM’s expansive commercial operations, global manufacturing footprint, and internal research-and-development initiatives.

Before his appointment at Syngenta, where he served as chief executive since January 2024, Rowe spent years navigating the complexities of the global agricultural sector. By creating this new position, ADM signals a focus on centralizing control over its core industrial and commercial engines under a single executive veteran.
