Cargill Inc. said two senior executives plan to step down at a time when the world’s largest agricultural commodities trader is shaking up its business following a decline in profits.
Julian Chase, the head of business operations and supply chain, and Treasurer Susan Conzemius Mercer will retire at the end of the year to focus on personal interests after more than 30 years at Cargill, a spokeswoman for the Minneapolis-based company confirmed.
