Background

About Eric Elkins

As a dedicated professional in the agriculture and commodities sector, I bring a robust background in commodity purchasing, logistics management, and financial analysis. Currently serving as the Commodity Purchasing Manager at ADM Animal Nutrition, I excel in procuring key commodities for multiple feed mills, managing accounts payable, and developing strategic purchasing plans that minimize risk and optimize costs. My ability to foster strong relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders has been crucial in driving efficiency and reducing expenses across various ADM divisions. Prior to my current role, I gained valuable experience as the FOB Trucking Manager, where I developed a comprehensive freight strategy that leveraged ADM's assets in the Southeast region. My journey began at ADM Milling Company, where I honed my analytical skills as an Accounting Analyst, focusing on P&L preparation and market analysis. With a Master of Accountancy and a proven track record at KPMG, I am adept at navigating complex financial landscapes, ensuring compliance, and leading audit teams to success. I’m passionate about leveraging data to inform strategic decisions and continuously seek opportunities for professional growth.
