Land O'Lakes Names CIO
Land O'Lakes, Inc. names Mike Macrie as its new vice president and chief information officer. He replaces Barry Libenson who left the company earlier this month. Macrie joined Land O'Lakes in 2010 as vice president and senior director of Ag Services IT.
"Mike has shown tremendous leadership through the successful transformation of Ag Services technology, including our proprietary R7 Satellite Imaging Platform and rebranding of Winfield and Purina across intranet and customer sites," says Dan Knutson, chief financial officer for Land O'Lakes. "It's a testament to the internal bench of talent built at Land O'Lakes that gives us the opportunity to promote an internal candidate to CIO."
Macrie previously held a number of roles at Ingersoll Rand, AlliedSigna, G5 Technologies and Multi-Media Solutions. He holds an MBA from Duke University and a bachelor's of science from Cornell University in Applied & Engineering Physics.
"As Land O'Lakes focuses on accelerating growth, Mike and the IT leadership team will help drive our business transformation through technology, achieve returns from our IT investments and support our co-op's IT growth needs," Knutson says.
