About Paul Maass

Some lessons can only come with time and experience. Through an early career as a commodities trader, I learned to see business from end to end, understand how to weigh risks and trade-offs against opportunities, and how to make decisions in the service of a greater good. Seeing potential possibilities enables one to achieve something previously unimagined. I believe leadership is something you genuinely must desire, it’s not something you just “do.” As Chief Executive Officer of Scoular, I am responsible for Scoular’s worldwide strategic leadership, a role I have held since joining the company in 2016. An over 128-year old employee-owned company with more than $6 billion in sales, Scoular is committed to creating safe and reliable supply chain solutions for feed and food customers around the world. From 100+ strategic offices, grain elevators, and processing facilities in North America and Asia, our employees are engaged in the business of buying, selling, storing, handling, and processing grain and ingredients as well as managing transportation and logistics worldwide.Prior to joining Scoular, I served as President of ConAgra Foods’ (now Conagra Brands) Commercial Foods and Private Brands segments. In that role, I led businesses with total annual revenue of $13 billion and more than employees and 90 manufacturing facilities in seven countries. A highlight of my tenure, was leading the turnaround of Lamb Weston, beginning in 2010 and through 2015, which is now a $3.7B publicly traded leader in the frozen potato industry. In addition, I led the creation of Ardent Mills, which transformed the flour milling industry. Contact: 40••••••00 and visit from work, I enjoy spending time with my family and supporting my alma mater.
