Governor Brian P. Kemp announced today that Cargill, a global leader in food and agriculture, will establish a new office hub in Atlanta, creating over 400 jobs in the metro area.

“With our reliable infrastructure network and capable workforce, it's no wonder why companies like Cargill are choosing Georgia as a preferred destination for projects like this new office hub,” said Governor Kemp. “Innovative job creators like this help continue the upward momentum of key industries like tech and agriculture, our No. 1 industry. We had the opportunity to speak with Cargill and other global industry leaders at the World Economic Forum, and economic missions like those will continue to bear fruit for our citizens.”

Cargill operates in 70 countries and sells to 125 global markets. The company has been active in Georgia's community, contributing over $1 million last year to various local organizations.

“Georgia, and Atlanta, are welcoming, business-friendly environments that provide an ideal backdrop for Cargill’s investment in technology and innovation,” said Brian Sikes, Cargill Board Chair and CEO. “With a new office hub in Atlanta, Cargill will be able to harness the immense potential of digital technology to drive our business forward. We extend our sincere gratitude to Governor Kemp and Mayor Dickens for their unwavering partnership in making Cargill’s expansion here a reality.”

Jennifer Hartsock, Chief Information and Digital Officer at Cargill added: “Cargill's decision to establish an office in Atlanta underscores our recognition of the city's thriving tech innovation hub. Atlanta's rich pool of technical talent provides unparalleled access to the expertise needed to drive our digital transformation."

The initial primary occupant of the Atlanta hub will be Cargill’s Digital, Technology and Data (DT&D) organization. The company is actively hiring for roles in data engineering, generative artificial intelligence, SAP, among others.

“Atlanta is a city committed to opportunity where companies have the talent, resources, and welcoming environment needed to accelerate business in today’s global economy,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens.

Robb Pitts, Chairman of Fulton County Board of Commissioners stated: “Welcoming Cargill’s new office hub to Atlanta is a tremendous win for Fulton County.”

Katie Kirkpatrick from Metro Atlanta Chamber remarked: “This new office hub in bustling Midtown Atlanta will attract and nurture the diverse skilled workforce that will help Cargill thrive in our region.”

Assistant Director John Soper represented Georgia Department of Economic Development on this project alongside partners including Select Fulton and Invest Atlanta.

GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson commented: “Their decision to locate in Atlanta reinforces the role our robust and diverse tech talent plays."
