CF Industries names Andrew Scribner as new CFO

CF Industries named Andrew T. Scribner as executive vice president and chief financial officer on May 5, effective May 26, bringing in a senior finance executive from outside the agricultural sector to lead the company’s balance sheet as it executes a $4 billion blue hydrogen and ammonia complex in Louisiana.
Scribner, 47, joins from Kimberly-Clark, where he most recently served as vice president, global controller and head of corporate finance planning and analysis, and previously as CFO for Kimberly-Clark North America. He spent more than a decade at The Kraft Heinz Company and its predecessor Kraft Foods Group in finance roles of increasing responsibility, and held CFO positions at Gap for the Banana Republic and Athleta brands.
Scribner will report to president and CEO Christopher D. Bohn and join CF Industries’ senior leadership team. His compensation package includes an annual base salary of $675,000, a target bonus of 80% of salary, a $140,000 sign-on payment, and a $2 million long-term equity award split between restricted stock units and performance-based units tied to return on net assets and total shareholder return.
“He is a disciplined, focused, and hands-on finance leader, and we believe his operational experience and strategic perspective will support our continued growth,” Bohn said.
The appointment comes at a pivotal moment for CF Industries. The company earlier this year began construction on its $4 billion blue hydrogen and ammonia complex at Donaldsonville, Louisiana, backed by a $1.5 billion Department of Energy loan guarantee. CF Industries reported record Q1 2026 profit in May, doubling earnings year-on-year as nitrogen supply tightened. Scribner’s arrival will coincide with the ramp-up of capital allocation decisions for the Donaldsonville project and potential further investment in the company’s low-carbon product strategy.
