Joel Terschak has 40 years of diverse experience in the Agribusiness and Food industry, serving in a variety of roles in publicly traded and private companies as well as a large cooperative that included dairy, oilseeds, grain, milling, biofuels, and food and animal feed ingredients. Within this experience, he has worked across a variety of finance and administrative disciplines including accounting, financial reporting, IT, internal audit, continuous improvement, operations, and administration. Joel considers himself a generalist able to see the big picture, successfully partner with management, and collaborate with all levels of an organization.

He recently left a role in Seattle with a large dairy cooperative serving domestic and export markets to return to his family home in St. Louis. His diverse background has allowed him to be a change agent, deploy continuous improvement tools, and coach and build teams. Joel believes that organizational alignment with clear objectives and strong process management are the ingredients to consistent effectiveness.

Joel’s experience transcends many challenges, projects, and roles including integrating business units, implementing systems, developing management reporting, assessing risk, and defining management controls, managing credit, heading external audits, ensuring continuous improvements, and overseeing diverse special projects. Because he has worked in seven states as well as in Ontario, Canada, he is better able to identify key areas of improvement and implement strategic initiatives that supports organizational and professional growth.
