Koch Named Director Of Global Ethanol Export Development

Alicia Koch joined the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) this week as its new director of global ethanol export development. As director, Koch will be based in the Council's Washington, D.C. headquarters and oversee the development and execution of the Council's global ethanol program including program implementation, public affairs and strategic partnerships.

Koch previously served as executive director at Pivot Clean Energy Co., a nonprofit biofuels industry coalition and spent more than nine years across a variety of roles at POET, the world's largest biofuels producer.

"Alicia's wealth of experience in the U.S. ethanol industry will be an outstanding benefit to the Council's ethanol market development efforts, especially at a key time when additional biofuel applications like sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and clean cooking are becoming more prevalent," said Ryan LeGrand, USGC president and CEO.

Please join the Council in welcoming Alicia!
