Corteva completes separation of seed segment into independent Vylor Inc., reshapes board and executive leadership.

Corteva completed the spin-off of its seed operating segment as Vylor Inc. on October 1, 2026, creating two independent publicly traded companies. The separation triggered a fundamental realignment of governance: four directors departed, including former CEO Charles Magro, and a new executive team took control with Luke Kissam as CEO, Jeff Rudolph as CFO, Brook Cunningham as Chief Commercial Officer, and Ralph Ford as Chief Integrated Operations Officer. This represents the most significant structural change to Corteva's portfolio and leadership since the company's formation, reducing it from a diversified crop-science conglomerate to a pure-play agricultural chemicals and traits platform.
