The thesis
Why this org is unusual
Seed and Crop Protection business unit leaders report directly to the CEO alongside core functional chiefs, rather than through a single operating layer.
The org chart shows two P&L‑heavy EVPs—Crop Protection and Seeds—at the same level as the CFO and CTO, reflecting Corteva’s enterprise model inherited from its DowDuPont separation.

The pending 2026 spin‑off announcement reinforces this design, as each business already operates with near‑standalone leadership.
- Dual P&L business units report directly to CEO
- No standalone COO role

Bayer embeds crop science within a broader conglomerate matrix, while Corteva’s CEO directly manages its two core platforms. This gives Corteva …
