FBN’s Refined Focus: One-On-One With Its Interim CEO

With recent turnover in com­pa­ny lead­er­ship, a divest­ment in its insur­ance busi­ness, and a grow­ing list of part­ner­ships, FBN is re-focus­ing its business.

For the first nine years of FBN, it was led by co-founder Amol Desh­pande. After his exit in Feb­ru­ary of 2023, board mem­ber John Vaske took the reins as CEO, but he stepped away in Novem­ber 2023. Since then, Devin Lam­mers has tak­en on the role of inter­im CEO.

“Our mis­sion and our vision remain the same—that hasn’t changed. We want to pow­er the pros­per­i­ty of fam­i­ly farms,” says Lam­mers. “The core of our busi­ness and our exe­cu­tion capa­bil­i­ty haven’t changed. While we’ve had a shift in the CEO posi­tion, the com­pa­ny is still the com­pa­ny, and our day to day exe­cu­tion of the busi­ness is there to make good on our promise to growers.”
