McClellan brings a wealth of leadership and engineering experience to this critical role, including over two decades of expertise in managing engineering teams, product design and operational excellence. 

“I’m pleased to take on the role of COO of Ag Express Electronics,” McClellan says. “This is an exciting period of growth for the organization and I’m looking forward helping guide our innovations and initiatives.”

Most recently, McClellan served as director of engineering at Ag Express, where he played a key role in driving product innovation, improving operational processes and advancing our strategic initiatives.

His ability to collaborate cross-functionally, prioritize resources and execute long-term goals will be invaluable as he takes on this expanded role.

As COO, McClellan will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of Ag Express and ensuring its operational strategies align with the company’s goals and mission. McClellan’s leadership, vision and commitment to excellence will help the organization achieve new levels of performance while it continues to serve its customers and advance technological solutions that power agriculture and beyond.
