Kemin Leadership Teams
As a global company that thinks globally and acts locally, Kemin has both global and regional boards of advisors and leadership teams. Through these boards and teams, Kemin leadership is able to provide strategic direction and insight to support the long-term growth of Kemin.
Kemin is comprised of 16 independently operated business units and initiatives 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 its customers’ needs.
While each business unit operates independently, many of Kemin’s insights, best practices and breakthroughs can be shared and applied across the company. This allows Kemin to continually evolve, improve and strive toward a shared vision of transforming the quality of life.
