As chief accounting officer, Nichol will report to executive vice president and chief financial officer Monish Patolawala, overseeing ADM's external and management accounting, reporting processes, internal controls and insurance and risk management department.
Patolawala said: “Carrie’s depth of knowledge and proven track record in corporate finance and accounting makes her an excellent addition to our finance organization and leadership team. We are confident that Carrie is the right person to lead this crucial part of our business, and I look forward to working with her to continue executing our strategic priorities.”
