About Jeroen Hoogendoorn

Jeroen Hoogendoorn is Chief Technology Officer at Amalgamated Sugar Company. Location: Boise, Idaho, United States.

I am a Chief Technology Officer and board-level advisor on technology and operations, with more than 30 years of experience driving value through digital transformation, operational excellence, and disciplined capital investment across agriculture, food processing, energy, supply chain, and retail. I currently serve as Chief Technology Officer at Amalgamated Sugar, a $1.2B agricultural cooperative, where I oversee enterprise IT, digital manufacturing, operational technology, cybersecurity, and data platforms across a complex, multi-site production environment. My work focuses on improving operational reliability, managing risk, and aligning technology investment with safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term business performance. Across leadership roles within global and privately held enterprises, Fortune 100 companies, and member-owned cooperatives, I have led enterprise transformation initiatives that delivered measurable results—including $180M in value creation over three years through operating model redesign, data-driven decision-making, and end-to-end capability development. My experience also includes major mergers and acquisitions, with responsibility for technology due diligence, integration strategy, synergy realization, and cultural alignment at scale. I bring boards a practical perspective on how technology, operations, cybersecurity, M&A, and capital allocation intersect. Particularly in asset-intensive, regulated, and margin-sensitive businesses, I help leadership teams distinguish among necessary modernization, risk mitigation, and true strategic investment. Beyond my executive role, I served as President of AgCIO, an industry forum of senior technology leaders focused on collaboration, standards, and talent development in agriculture. I am also served as a technical resident at Grand Farm, an AgTech innovation hub that supports startups and brings together academic, commercial, and government partners. Whether working with executive teams or boards, I am known for an analytical, trust-based approach to complex decision making, helping leaders navigate ambiguity, challenge assumptions, and make high-quality, long-term decisions.
