About Rick Marriner

Currently engaged in a year long research sabbatical, focused on the dynamics and mathematics of General Systems Theory as applied to the Optimization of Complex Decision Theory in Energy Supply Chains. Previously as VP if Trading at Parkland Corporation, my focus was on enhancing our trading portfolio through strategic risk management and innovation, ensuring we not only adapt to market dynamics but also uphold our supply & customer commitments. The leadership role built upon a legacy of steering energy supply and trading operations at RIL USA INC, MOTIVA, and SHELL where collaboration and safe, optimized solutions were paramount. With Standard Soil, PBC, I\'ve co-led an expansion that leverages established partnerships to bolster our regenerative proteins production and wholesale reach. In an industry where supply chain strategies and branding collaborations can make a significant impact, my expertise in these areas has been instrumental in penetrating new markets. The mission to regenerate working lands and improve soil health remains a guiding principle behind our strategic decisions.

   Having been an initial investor & founding member of the Executive Team in 2015, I am proud to serve again as an “regularly involved” board member. As we strive to increase operational scale and reduce production costs, we remain committed to our founding mission: regenerating working lands to improve soil health and support our American ranching communities.
