Ruben D. Chacon
Vice President and Global Chief Information Security Officer, ADM

- 14 September 2026
Ruben D. Chacon is Vice President and Global Chief Information Security Officer at ADM, a role SecurityWeek's industry-moves column reported him taking up in the week of September 14, 2026.
Career path
Chacon's route to ADM runs through a series of CISO and deputy-security seats at large consumer and industrial companies. Immediately before ADM, he held the Global VP and CISO title at Eaton, the power-management company.
Earlier in his career he held the top security seat at CDW, the technology reseller, and, before that, at Constellation Brands, the beverage company, according to his RSA Conference expert page.
Before running his own security programs, Chacon served as a deputy security executive inside two major food and beverage companies, Mondelez and Coca Cola. The SecurityWeek item independently confirms this stretch of his career, describing it as leading cybersecurity and information protection at Mondelēz International, The Coca-Cola Company and Kraft Foods Group, three packaged-goods employers that predate his run of CISO titles.
The RSA Conference page puts his total run in the field at over a quarter-century and traces his technical education to Mexico, where he studied computer engineering rather than a security-specific discipline.
What the ADM seat covers
Neither source reviewed for this profile sets out ADM's specific remit for Chacon beyond the Global VP and CISO title itself; SecurityWeek's brief did not describe day-to-day duties at the grain and ingredients company, and no other tier A or B page turned up in this session covering the appointment in more depth. What is documented, across both sources, is the shape of the path that led here: an engineering degree earned in Mexico, a run of deputy security roles inside three packaged-food and beverage companies, then a sequence of top security seats at a technology reseller, a beverage maker and an industrial power-management company, culminating in the global CISO title at ADM. That progression repeats across three prior employers before this one: security programs built from a deputy function up into the top seat at one large company, then the next.
