Ingredion’s board also appointed Victoria Reich as lead director, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strong independent oversight and best-in-class corporate governance practices

Ingredion Incorporated, a leading global provider of ingredient solutions, announced that its board of directors has unanimously elected Jim Zallie, president and CEO, to assume the additional role of chairman of the board, effective immediately.

“I am honoured by the board’s confidence and grateful for the opportunity to serve as Chairman. Ingredion has a strong foundation, a talented global team, and a clear strategy focused on becoming the go-to provider of Texture & Healthful Solutions that make healthy taste better,” said Jim Zallie. “I look forward to continuing to work closely with the board as we execute our growth agenda and advance our purpose of bringing the potential of people, nature, and technology together to make life better.”

Ingredion’s board also appointed Victoria Reich as lead director, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strong independent oversight and best-in-class corporate governance practices.

The leadership changes follow Gregory Kenny’s decision to step down from the role of independent chairman, a role he held since 2018 after being elected to the board in 2005. Kenny will continue to serve as a member of the board.

“On behalf of the board and Ingredion, I thank Greg for his years of service and leadership,” said Vicki Reich. “Greg joins me and the board in congratulating Jim on his new, additional responsibilities. Jim has demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic clarity during a period of significant transformation for Ingredion. His deep understanding of our business, global markets, and long-term growth opportunities makes him uniquely qualified to also serve as chairman.”
