John Ricci

John Ricci serves as the Managing Director and Global Head of Agricultural Products at CME Group. He has carved out a notable career in the agricultural trading sector, with a particular focus on the dairy industry.

In his role at CME Group, Ricci has been instrumental in overseeing trading activities related to dairy products. His leadership has coincided with a marked increase in trading activity, a trend driven by tightening inventories of nonfat dry milk and butter, alongside a robust demand for whey protein. These dynamics have led clients to utilize CME Group's offerings to manage their risks effectively.

Ricci has also noted the rise in U.S. skimmed milk powder, attributing this to changing uses of fluid milk and a growing consumer demand for protein-rich foods. His insights were shared during an interview with Valor, conducted during a visit to Brazil.
