EDEN PRAIRIE, MINN. — Vincent F. Macciocchi, senior vice president at ADM and president of the company’s nutrition business unit, has joined the board of directors of Milk Specialties Global, a vertically integrated manufacturer focused on the processing of raw dairy inputs into valued-added functional ingredients.

As a member of the board, Macciocchi will advise Milk Specialties Global on commercial strategy and various growth-oriented strategic initiatives.

Prior to that, he spent more than a decade at Givaudan Flavors. He also has held positions at American-Maize Products Co., Roquette America and IngredientsNet.com.

He received a bachelor’s degree in economics from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Ill., and a master’s degree in business administration from North Central College in Naperville, Ill.
