Most recently Cosgrove served as Chief Executive Officer of
Growers Edge, a company that offers crop plans, finance solutions,
land valuation and software and data analytics tools to
agriculture. His previous agriculture work also includes key roles
at Corteva Agriscience/DuPont Pioneer, where he played an important
part in the seed company’s global expansion and licensing approach.
Drawing on his deep industry knowledge, Cosgrove will oversee all
government affairs and administrative functions at Benson Hill to
drive strategic initiatives and support the company’s evolution to
an asset-light business model.
“We are thrilled to welcome such a respected and accomplished
agriculture leader to our executive leadership team,” said Deanie
Elsner, Chief Executive Officer of Benson Hill. “While business
development anchors Dan’s impressive skillset, his global
intellectual property and licensing expertise will be pivotal as we
pursue value-chain partnerships. His appointment is an important
step in our strategy to serve large-scale soy markets through seed
innovations that deliver better feed, better food and better
fuel.”
“We’re grateful to Yevgeny for his contributions to Benson Hill
over the past three years,” added Elsner. “He provided essential
support during the go-public process, M&A activities, and
several business negotiations, and we wish him all the best.”
