Mayo Schmidt – Why Did Nutrien CEO Resign?
Mayo Schmidt left Nutrien on January 4 after taking over the CEO position in April 2021. He followed in the footsteps of the former CEO, Chuck Margo.
The corporation did not explain the reason behind the sudden exit of the former CEO. Their news release stated that he had resigned from his post as president and CEO. Moreover, he had resigned from the board of directors as well.
The vacant post is currently filled in temporarily by the executive vice president and CEO of Potash Ken Seitz. Nutrien announced that it is looking for a CEO to fill the position permanently.
After Mayo Schmidt made an abrupt exit from Nutrien, Saskatoon-based fertilizer company’s shares dived.
Due to legal reasons, the company cannot comment on the specifics of his resignation. Spokeswoman Megan Fielding announced adamantly that the adjustment would have no impact on Nutrien’s strategic orientation.
