Biosciences Leader Brings Advanced Science-based Solutions for Dairy Producers
GREEN BAY, Wis. — GLC Minerals has appointed Doug Webel, Ph.D., as Chief Executive Officer, following a leadership transition period during which Owner and Chairman Wesley (Wes) Garner served as Interim CEO.
Webel brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in animal nutrition, with a career focused on improving livestock performance through applied science, operational excellence, and customer-driven innovation, experience that closely aligns with the evolving needs of today’s dairy producers and nutrition partners.
Raised on a production swine farm and trained at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Webel has spent his career bridging on-farm realities with research-backed nutrition strategies. As former President and CEO of United Animal Health, he led growth initiatives, expanded global capabilities, and strengthened the connection between technical expertise and customer profitability.

I have complete confidence in his ability to lead GLC forward.”
