“We are very saddened by the loss of Bill Veazey. He was a valued colleague and leader,” said Greg Page, chairman and CEO. “It is with confidence that we move forward with David MacLennan. Cargill’s and Bill’s efforts in talent development and succession planning over the years allow us to have someone like David ready to take on the responsibilities of CFO.”
