2024 – 2024
0 years
Key Decisions & Impact
Patolawala brought more than 25 years of finance leadership across industrial and healthcare companies, including as CFO of GE Healthcare, GE Transportation, and most recently 3M, before ADM's board recruited him as an outside CFO hire effective August 1, 2024, explicitly to signal a fresh start after the company's accounting scandal and prior CFO's departure.
Legacy
Patolawala oversees finance during ADM's post-2024 operating reset, with investor attention centered on cash generation, segment profitability, accounting controls, and capital allocation. He joined ADM specifically to rebuild financial-controls credibility with investors and regulators following the accounting investigation, bringing prior CFO experience at 3M where he had overseen large-scale finance-organization transformations. His prior experience as CFO of the $20 billion GE Healthcare division gave him direct experience managing finance organizations at a scale comparable to ADM's own multi-segment structure, a background the board viewed as directly relevant to rebuilding financial-reporting credibility across ADM's own business units.
