PLYMOUTH, Minn., Jan. 18, 2016 /CNW/ -- The Mosaic Company
(NYSE: MOS) today announced that Walter F.
Precourt III, Senior Vice President – Potash Operations,
will assume the role of Senior Vice President – Phosphates,
effective June 1, 2016. On that date
Gary "Bo" N. Davis, Mosaic's current Senior Vice President –
Phosphate Operations, will transition to the role of Senior Advisor

2017. Bruce Bodine, who
currently leads Mosaic's supply chain, will become Vice President –

In connection with his new role, Precourt will move from
Saskatchewan to Central Florida. Precourt, 51, joined Mosaic
in 2009 as Vice President – Environment, Health and Safety (EHS),
and was promoted to Senior Vice President – Potash Operations in
2012. Precourt has played a critical role in increasing the
effectiveness and competitiveness of Mosaic's Potash business, and
in cultivating the company's high-performing safety culture.
"Walt has provided remarkable leadership for EHS and Potash,"
said Joc O'Rourke, President and
Chief Executive Officer of The Mosaic Company. "With more than two
decades of operational and functional leadership roles at The Dow
Chemical Company and Holcim (U.S.), Walt is uniquely qualified to
lead the next phase of our company's phosphates journey."
Bodine, 44, will move to Regina,
Saskatchewan and will lead Mosaic's Saskatchewan and Carlsbad, New Mexico-based potash business
beginning in June, when he will also join Mosaic's Senior
Leadership Team. Bodine has spent 15 years at the company, holding
leadership in many areas of the business, including Potash,
Phosphates, and Supply Chain.
"Bruce is an insightful and engaging leader of both people and
process, and he is driven to help Mosaic compete in the potash
market. I am confident that Bruce will deliver exceptional
execution and foster innovation," O'Rourke said. "With these
changes, I believe Mosaic has the right leaders at the right
time."
Davis to Retire
Davis, 63, has spent 41 years in the phosphates business and has
worked at Mosaic since the company's formation in 2004. He was

Mosaic's Florida and Louisiana operations, and in 2009 became
Senior Vice President – Phosphate Operations. He also served on the
board of directors of Ma'aden Wa'ad Al Shamal Phosphate Company, a

"In his nearly 12 years at Mosaic, Bo led the transformation of
our Phosphates business unit and achieved levels of operational
excellence not previously reached in the phosphates industry,"
