Sustainability solutions provider Truterra LLC, Arden Hills, Minn., on Nov. 15 announced that it has named Jamie Leifker as its next President. The company said he brings more than 25 years of experience in agriculture, including a track record in leadership at WinField United and Land O’Lakes Inc.’s crop input and insights business, in addition to previous industry experience. Truterra was launched in 2016 by Land O’Lakes.
Leifker most recently served as Winfield United’s Vice President of New Markets and Growth Services and was responsible for working with ag retailers to provide risk management services, as well as with downstream companies to deliver on customizable supply chain needs. Prior to that he led Winfield’s Agronomy and Product Development team, which included leadership of the WinField United Innovation Center.
“Jamie’s career spans the spectrum of applicable experience that make him the perfect choice to help the Truterra reach the next level as a leader in agricultural sustainability,” said Brett Bruggeman, Chief Operating Officer at Land O’Lakes. “His background in agronomy, plus his experience working with both local ag retailers and customers, is in lockstep with Truterra’s mission and go-to-market approach.”
