Gevo Names New Operations VP to Lead Future Growth and COO Transition
Gevo, Inc. has appointed Greg Hanselman as its new executive vice president of operations and engineering. The move comes as part of the company’s long-term growth strategy and leadership transition plan. Hanselman will eventually take over as chief operating officer when the current COO, Dr. Chris Ryan, retires in mid-2026.
Hanselman brings extensive experience in agriprocessing and precision fermentation to his new role. His career includes senior leadership positions at major firms like Ingredion and Tate & Lyle, where he developed expertise in global agribusiness operations.
The appointment is tied to Gevo’s succession planning, as Dr. Chris Ryan, the current COO, has announced his retirement for June 2026. Hanselman is set to step into the COO position once Ryan departs, ensuring a smooth leadership transition. Gevo, listed on NASDAQ as GEVO, highlighted Hanselman’s strong operational background and business skills as key assets for the company’s future. His track record in driving efficiency and scaling production aligns with Gevo’s expansion goals in sustainable fuels and chemicals.
Hanselman’s arrival strengthens Gevo’s leadership team ahead of Ryan’s planned departure. The company expects his industry knowledge and operational experience to support its ongoing projects. His transition to COO in 2026 will mark the next phase in Gevo’s leadership structure.
