New Leadership for ABA Commodity Policy Group

Washington, DC - The American Bakers Association recently heralded a significant leadership change within its Commodity and Agricultural Policy Professionals Group.

Hayden Wands, Vice President of Global Procurement, Commodities for Grupo Bimbo, has stepped down as the group’s Chair. Wands' remarkable tenure concluded last week, paving the way for new leadership.

Stepping into this pivotal role is Ahmet Hepdogan, currently the Senior Vice President, Supply Chain & Procurement, North America for Dawn Foods.

Hepdogan’s appointment was warmly received, given his extensive background and more than 20 years of experience in leading procurement and supply chain organizations.

His deep familiarity with the nuances of commodities and agricultural policies makes him an ideal successor.

The CAPC Professionals Group plays a crucial role within the baking industry, tackling essential issues such as trade, sustainability, market volatility, and commodity transportation.

This group is vital in advancing policy priorities that affect the commercial banking sector and ensuring robust representation in legislative discussions, particularly on Capitol Hill.

Ahmet Hepdogan is well-prepared to lead the group thanks to his active involvement and comprehensive understanding of the industry's challenges and opportunities.
