Cargill has appointed Brian Sikes as its chief operating officer (COO), a role in which he will also serve as a management director on the company’s board.
Sikes joined Cargill in 1991 and has held a number of leadership positions in the company’s protein business in North America and Europe.
In 2019, Sikes joined Cargill’s executive team, leading the company’s global protein and salt businesses.

“Equally so, he’s a people-first leader, with an unwavering commitment to health and safety, and builds diverse, inclusive teams that deliver strong results.
“This combination of a growth mindset and strength of leadership will help lead Cargill forward as we fulfil our purpose to nourish the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable way.”
