Anthony Will has announced he will to retire as president and CEO of CF Industries on 4th January 2026. Current executive vice president and chief operating officer, Christopher Bohn, has been elected as his successor.

Mr Will is staying on in an advisory capacity to CF Industries until 15th March next year and will serve out his remaining term on the board of directors.

“I want to thank Tony for his outstanding leadership, his commitment to CF Industries’ employees, shareholders and communities, and his tremendous success guiding the Company through a period of evolution and growth. He has been instrumental in shaping the Company’s strategic direction and high-performance culture. We are deeply grateful for his many years of contributions and wish him the best in retirement,” said Stephen Hagge, chair, board of directors, CF Industries Holdings, Inc.

“We are pleased to have elected Chris as CF Industries’ next president and chief executive officer, which is the result of the Board’s thorough and disciplined succession process. The Board believes his proven leadership, deep expertise, and strategic vision will serve CF Industries and our shareholders well in the years ahead,” added Mr Hagge.

Mr Will joined CF Industries in 2007 and has served as president and CEO since 2014. During his 12-year tenure leading the company, he has delivered world-class safety and operational excellence, disciplined growth, and been committed to rewarding long-term shareholders.

“It has been my honor and privilege to lead this great Company, and I am tremendously proud of what the CF Industries team has accomplished over that time,” said Tony Will. “I am excited to see what the Company achieves in the future with Chris as CEO. I have worked side-by-side with him for 16 years, and believe his strong leadership, knowledge of the Company and our industry, and keen strategic vision will lead CF Industries to continued success.”

Mr Bohn is a 16-year veteran with CF Industries with responsibility for many of the company’s key functions during that time. In recent years, he was instrumental in the formation of the Blue Point joint venture announced in 2025, the acquisition of the Waggaman, Louisiana, ammonia production plant, and CF’s strategic focus on low-carbon ammonia.

In February 2024, Mr Bohn was appointed as the company’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, with responsibility for global manufacturing, distribution, sales, supply chain, and clean energy solutions. He was simultaneously elected to the board of directors.

“I am honored to succeed Tony as CF Industries’ next president and chief executive officer,” said Chris Bohn. “I believe the future of CF Industries is bright and look forward to working with our outstanding Board and management team to build on our success, fulfill our mission to provide clean energy to feed and fuel the world sustainably, and continue to create value for long-term shareholders.”
