The Andersons names new chief operating officer

The Andersons, Inc. announced that Bill Krueger has been appointed as the company's chief operating officer effective December 1, 2022.

"The appointment of a chief operating officer as part of our executive leadership structure best supports our growth and strategic vision for the company," said The Andersons president and chief executive officer Pat Bowe. "Bill is an experienced ag industry leader, whose appreciation for the importance of the company's Statement of Principles to our overall success makes him a tremendous asset at the company.

"We continually review our leadership structure and succession plans focused on developing and selecting leaders who will continue to build a strong and successful company. The creation of the COO role enhances and solidifies our commitment to remaining nimble and innovative as we grow our core businesses in the ag supply chain. I look forward to working with Bill in this new capacity as we continue to grow the company."

Krueger joined The Andersons in 2019 as part of its acquisition of Lansing Trade Group where he served as president and CEO for nearly 14 years. Most recently, he was president of trade and processing at The Andersons.

He currently serves on the executive committee of the National Grain & Feed Association (NGFA).

Prior to The Andersons and Lansing, Krueger held positions as a grain merchant for Scoular and ConAgra Trade Group where he began his journey working in the commodity industry and gained a strong business development skillset in grains, energy, risk management and corporate finance.

In his new position, Krueger will be responsible for all of the company's operating segments.
