Nebraska biorefining giant Green Plains just swapped its top legal eagle for an infrastructure veteran. Ryan Loneman enters the chat as general counsel, taking over for Michelle Mapes. He arrives from Lindsay Corporation, where he served as vice president handling legal matters. This fresh recruit steers the corporate governance ship while advising bosses regarding strategic deals plus regulatory headaches starting late January.
This corn-husker state enterprise transforms renewable crops into low-carbon juice and agricultural feedstock. Chris Osowski, the head honcho, claims Ryan delivers massive experience alongside a strategic mindset that benefits their long game. That knowledge covering compliance and complicated agreements supposedly positions him perfectly for supporting growth plans.
Loneman lands here following a decade at Lindsay. He began merely as corporate counsel but climbed to associate GC quickly before grabbing his recent title. Before that irrigation gig, he spent six years grinding as an attorney for Kirkland & Ellis.
Mapes exited recently after spending nearly seventeen years there with the final eight running administration. She sticks around offering part-time consulting until summer, per SEC filings. Her resume includes partner status at Husch Blackwell Sanders and acting as GC for Farm Credit Services of America after starting at Kutak Rock.
Restless lawyers plague the wider energy vertical. NuScale Power recruited James Canafax from Maritime Partners to relieve Shahram Ghasemian. The Nuclear Company onboarded Robert Harmon from ICON after his stint at Tesla. Terrestrial Energy snagged Brian Romanzo from REP’M Group before trying to go public.
