Cargill CEO to step down




Cargill CEO Greg Page, 62, will leave his post on December 1, more than two years before the mandatory retirement age,

the

Financial Times

reported.

He will be replaced by David MacLennan, 54, who joined the company in 1991 and has been president and COO since 2011, the article said.

Page told the

FT

that more than two years ago he told the Cargill board “that I probably would not remain as CEO up to our deadline of the 65th birthday.”

Cargill, which generates annual revenues of $136.7 billion, is controlled by about 80 members of the Cargill and MacMillan families, the report noted. Wallace Cargill founded the company in 1865. (Source:
