Dennis Organ is a food executive who has spent the majority of his career in executive leadership positions at Smithfield Foods Inc., most recently as CEO.

Having headed up the global operations of the world’s largest pork processor, his vast experience in supply chain management and optimization makes him a significant contributor to the BinSentry team, who has launched their innovative BinSentry Horizon and BinSentry Sensus product offerings, designed to enable increased feed ordering automation.

“Dennis’ wealth of experience and depth of industry expertise will be a huge asset to BinSentry moving forward," says BinSentry CEO and Co-Founder Randall Schwartzentruber.

"His belief in our mission to automate the feed supply chain equips BinSentry with another strong advocate as we strive to build the “Mill of the Future,” enabling feed mills, livestock producers, and nutritionists to operate more sustainably, efficiently, and profitably via the integration of emerging technologies.”

Leaning on his thorough understanding of the agricultural supply chain, Organ will help guide BinSentry in its mission to develop new innovative software applications to facilitate their goal of creating the “Mill of the Future.”

“With the recent launch of BinSentry Horizon, our feed ordering automation software, and BinSentry Sensus, our advanced hardware bin monitoring solution Dennis’ addition to the team will provide invaluable industry insight as we help our partners successfully leverage the benefits of sensor technology, better data and AI on the path towards greater efficiency," says Randall.

Since partnering with Cargill in 2020, BinSentry has been able to expand the distribution of its sensor technology and feed ordering software across the United States, Mexico, and into the South American, Asian, and European markets. Organ’s expertise in supply chain optimization will be instrumental in further strengthening Cargill and BinSentry’s mutual efforts within these new markets.

“A core tenet of operational excellence is gaining visibility to the data that matters," says Organ. "What attracted me to BinSentry was the fact that they’re bringing core optimization technology to the feed supply chain.

"It’s rare that you get the opportunity to be a part of an organization that is introducing proven automation and optimization capabilities to an industry that largely operates without the benefit of modern technology. With BinSentry’s leading-edge technology, software development capabilities, and passion for performance, we will help feed the world and reduce the impact on the climate as we do so.”
