Timothy R. McLevish is the Executive Chairman of Lamb Weston, a company known for its innovative frozen potato products. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Business from the University of Michigan. McLevish came into the role in 2016 after Lamb Weston became an independent public company following its separation from Conagra Brands. His leadership helps guide the company in a highly competitive food industry. Under his watch, Lamb Weston has aimed to align executive compensation with company performance, ensuring that leaders stay motivated to achieve long-term success for shareholders. McLevish's unique insight into the business comes from years of experience, though he has not participated in annual cash bonus plans, which is unusual for someone in his position. He received $4.6 million in compensation in 2017, primarily from stock options and salary. Interestingly, he has seen significant fluctuations in his stock holdings, which peaked at around $6.79 million in April 2023 before dialing down due to market changes. McLevish’s hands-on approach and strategic direction help shape Lamb Weston as a leading player in the food sector.
