"ADM is historically a commodity trading and food processing company. This involves your traditional commodity - corn, beans, and things of that nature - and ADM buys, sells, trades, transports and refines these commodities," explains Brian Howell, Vice President, Global Head of Security at ADM. "Additionally, ADM has a nutrition division now that it is very focused on. Basically, this involves what we eat and how that diet can be enhanced in a good way. ADM is also involved in animal nutrition of all sorts, including pets, aquatic species and large livestock."
"Because of ADM's massive global reach, pretty much any geopolitical incident or labor related issue will rub up against our business in some way or another. If it's involved in supermarkets, it rubs up against us. If it's in farming, it rubs up against us," Howell says.
"We recognized we were using a ton of institutional knowledge. We needed to be able to use what we'd learned there in these very tense situations to train or embed that muscle memory in the company. That way, it doesn't die with the people that managed it."
