J.R. Simplot Company, Boise, Idaho, reported that Shauna Della retired from her role as Chief Information Officer, effective Nov. 1. Della joined Simplot in 2016 and oversaw a number of important technological improvements, including leading the company’s global information technology strategy and implementing a team to drive efficiencies and shared-practices across Simplot’s global footprint. Prior to joining Simplot, Della held a variety of leadership positions with Hewlett-Packard Company.
“Shauna has been a tremendous leader for the J.R. Simplot Company and leaves our team and approach to technology in a good place to take advantage of our access to data and technology across our global footprint,” said Simplot President and CEO Garrett Lofto. “We thank her for the time and energy she’s provided and wish her well on this new phase of her life.”
Darron Page will take over leadership for Simplot’s global information technology as part of his larger role leading the company’s Global Solutions organization. Page has been with Simplot for 26 years, most recently as Vice President of Business Development and Optimization within the Agribusiness Division.
“Darron has shown the strategic vision and leadership to continue our efforts to better meet the needs of our customers around the world,” Lofto said. “As the leader of our Global Solutions division, Darron is the perfect person to continue the momentum of our technology group as we expand our digital capabilities.”
