嘉宾简介

David W. MacLennan

Chairman and CEO of Cargill

David W. MacLennan is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cargill since 2015.  He was elected to the Cargill Board of Directors in 2008 and previously served as CFO and COO. Cargill is the world‘s largest private company in 2016. Starting from a granary in Minnesota in 1865, Cargill’s business now ranges from agriculture, food, to financial and industrial products, with more than 150,000 employees in 70 countries. Cargill’s revenue in 2016 ranked it among the world’s 50 largest companies.

During its more than 150 years of history, Cargill has undergone numerous changes and crisis, big or small. The change is even more dramatic because of the nature of Cargill’s major business, commodity trading. As the helmsman of Cargill, Mr. MacLennan will share how Cargill has mitigated through the changes, and how he leads the company in today’s challenging environment.

Mr. MacLennan has held management positions within the financial, risk management, energy, and animal protein platforms. Prior to joining Cargill, he worked in the futures and securities sector in Chicago, and was president of fixed income capital markets at USBancorp Piper Jaffray.  He holds a bachelor’s degree in English from Amherst College and an M.B.A. in finance from the University of Chicago.      

麦伟德先生自2015年担任嘉吉公司主席兼首席执行官。他于2008年当选为嘉吉公司董事会成员，此前曾担任首席财务官和首席运营官。2016年，嘉吉是全球最大的私有企业。自1865年从明尼苏达州的谷仓起家，嘉吉的业务已经从农业、食品延伸到金融和工业等广泛领域。目前，嘉吉在70个国家拥有超过15万名员工。2016年，嘉吉的营收进入全球50强企业之列。

在这个日益复杂多变的世界中，变化是一种常态。这意味着企业和个人都将面临巨大挑战。为此，管理变化的能力成为企业生存和成功至关重要的因素，并且可以在很大程度上定义公司的好坏。在150多年的发展历史中，嘉吉经历了无数或大或小的变化和危机。由于嘉吉的主要业务是大宗商品贸易，这种变化甚至更为剧烈。作为嘉吉公司的“掌舵人”，麦伟德先生将分享有关嘉吉如何应对各种变化，以及他如何在当今充满挑战的环境中带领公司前行的经验。

麦伟德先生经常在“世界经济论坛”等重大活动上发表演讲。最近在瑞士举办的《金融时报》大宗商品全球峰会上，麦伟德先生大力倡导开放包容的贸易政策，并指出世界正处于国际贸易政策的关键转折点——这将影响许多行业包括农业的新变化。自1991年加入嘉吉公司以来，他曾在金融、风险管理、能源和动物蛋白平台担任管理职位。在加入嘉吉公司之前，他曾在芝加哥的期货和证券行业工作，并曾在USBancorp Piper Jaffray公司担任固定收益资本市场总裁。他拥有阿默斯特学院的英语学士学位和芝加哥大学的金融学M.B.A.硕士学位。
