Executive Compensation
Imre Havasi served as Senior Vice President and Head of Trading and Commercial Operations, as well as a member of the Executive Committee at Green Plains Inc., from March 2025 to August 2025. In this critical leadership role, he directed the company's global trading strategies, commercial negotiations, and operational excellence across its ethanol production, grain marketing, and renewable energy platforms. Havasi's tenure focused on optimizing commodity hedging, enhancing supply chain resilience amid market volatility, and forging strategic partnerships that bolstered Green Plains' competitive edge in the biofuels industry. With more than 25 years of expertise in commodities trading and agribusiness, Havasi built his career at premier organizations including Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), where he led North American grain trading operations, and Trafigura, managing energy and agricultural commodity desks in Europe and Asia. His notable achievements include developing proprietary risk management models that delivered over $500 million in annual value through effective hedging during turbulent oil and corn markets, as well as spearheading expansions into sustainable biofuels trading that opened new revenue streams in emerging markets. During his time at Green Plains, Havasi drove record trading volumes and margin improvements, contributing to a 15% year-over-year increase in commercial revenues in the first half of 2025. As an Executive Committee member, he influenced enterprise-wide decisions on sustainability initiatives and digital transformation, leaving a lasting impact on the company's path toward carbon-neutral operations and long-term profitability.
