Kemin Leadership Team
As an international company that thinks globally and acts locally, Kemin has advisory boards of advisors and leadership teams at the regional and worldwide level. With this composition of global and local insight, Kemin leadership provides strategic direction to support the company’s long-term growth.
Kemin is comprised of 18 independently operated business units and ventures worldwide, each with its own president or general manager, leadership team, industry focus and regional customer segment. This structure helps each business unit act locally, strengthen its expertise in the industry and provide specialized solutions that truly meet customers’ needs.
While each business unit operates independently, many of Kemin’s insights, best practices and breakthroughs are shared and applied across the company. This allows us to continually evolve, improve and strive toward a shared vision of transforming the quality of life.
