Alan Wilson, chairman, president and chief executive officer of McCormick and Company, has been named the 2013 Business Leader of the Year by Loyola University Maryland’s Sellinger School of Business and Management.
“Under Alan Wilson’s leadership, McCormick and Company has continued to grow its reputation and success as both a corporate anchor in Baltimore and a business that is respected internationally for product quality, innovation and dedication to its customers and the community,” Karyl B. Leggio, dean of the Baltimore university’s Sellinger School, said in a statement. “His commitment to excellence is something we value deeply at Loyola, and we as an institution, along with our students, are extraordinarily fortunate to remain strongly tied to a company of McCormick’s prestige.”
Wilson, who joined McCormick in 1993, has served in his current role since 2008, according to information from the university. Prior to joining McCormick, he worked at Procter & Gamble.
Wilson serves on the boards of directors for the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association, MeadWestvaco Corporation and the Greater Baltimore Committee, according to information from the university. He also serves on the Business Roundtable for Education and the board of visitors of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
He will be honored at a dinner Nov. 21 at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore.
