Suzan Harrison of Colgate Palmolive up for ADM board seat at May stockholders meeting

Suzan Harrison, currently Colgate Palmolive President of Global Oral Care, will stand for election to the Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) board of directors at the company’s annual stockholders meeting on May 4.

“Suzan Harrison would be a tremendous addition to ADM’s Board of Directors,” ADM Chairman and CEO Juan Luciano said. “If elected by our shareholders, she will bring extensive experience in areas such as consumer insight, marketing and customer-driven innovation, all of which are critical to our ongoing efforts to expand throughout the value stream.”

Harrison has worked at Colgate Palmolive for more than three decades and has significant experience in senior level positions at the company.

ADM also announced that two members of its board of directors will not seek re-election at the upcoming meeting: Mollie Hale Carter, who has served on the board since 1996, and Antonio Maciel Neto, who was first elected to the board in 2006.

“On behalf of the board and the entire company, I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mollie Hale Carter and Antonio Maciel Neto for their service," Luciano said. "As our longest-serving member of the board and former lead independent director, Mollie has guided our growth over the last two decades. Antonio too has been a valued adviser and leader, particularly as a member and ultimately chair of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, in which role he helped enhance our governance and compliance programs.”
