Corteva Agriscience has appointed Arthur Prudente Cançado (pictured) as Director of Global Producer Services / Hedge and Sustainability for the Seeds business. The executive assumes the position this January and will be based in Johnston, USA, after nearly five years based in Switzerland.

“Switzerland was an exceptional place for us to live and grow as a family. We leave with immense gratitude, great friends, and memories that we will cherish forever,” he stated. According to him, the move to the USA represents “new challenges, opportunities, and experiences, both professional and personal,” he concluded.

With over 17 years of experience in global commodities companies, Arthur has expertise in trading, risk management, hedging, and leading multicultural teams. Prior to Corteva, he held strategic positions at Nestlé, where he was responsible for global hedging operations involving sugar, grains, energy, and soft commodities.
