Rob Ritchie

Executive with over 28 years of experience in the industry, currently the Senior Vice President, Food & Industrial Ingredients, Americas. As a sports enthusiast, I champion the spirit of teamwork from the field to the boardroom. From an Area director at Casco to VP roles within Ingredion, my journey has been driven by passion and strategic leadership. My educational background, including a Business degree from Lakehead, an MBA from Loyola University Chicago, and an Advanced Management Program from the University of Chicago, has empowered me with a deep understanding of product management, strategic planning, and operational efficiency. In addition, I am a recent graduate of the CEO Perspectives Class of 2025. Having lived an ExPat assignment in Mexico, I have led cross-cultural teams, driving growth and promoting a culture of high performance and inclusivity. Away from the corporate world, I'm a devoted family man, celebrating over two decades of marriage and parenthood. This, along with my unwavering focus on people and results, shapes my leadership style, fostering a collaborative, supportive environment. Let's shape Ingredion's future together, driving excellence, collaboration, and success across the Americas. Join me in this journey to make a significant impact. I'm not just a result-driven leader, but a mentor who values each individual within my team.
