Appointment of new Directors

 

The Company has appointed two new members to its Board of Directors.

Subriana Pierce is a visionary leader in the food and beverage industry with over 25 years of experience in senior leadership in both the grocery channel and Consumer Packaged Goods industry. She currently serves as Senior Vice President, Sales with C.A. Fortune, a national Consumer Brands Agency. After serving in various sales and marketing roles with PepsiCo/Frito Lay, she became SVP of Sales and Merchandising for Albertsons Southern California. After leaving Albertson’s, she launched food brokerage Navigator Sales and Marketing which was acquired by C.A. Fortune in July 2023. She also currently serves on the Board of Directors for the California Grocers Association. Subriana has a Bachelors in Economics from Spelman College and an MBA in Marketing from University of Chicago Booth.

Ian Wendler is a customer focused innovation, strategy and product development leader. He is currently Vice President and General Manager of Americas at Dover Corporations Vehicle Service Group (VSG). He previously held executive roles from Operations, to Engineering, to Marketing, and Business across Dover operating companies supporting OEM Automotive, Government, Industrial, Consumer, and Aftermarket segments in Engineered Products. Before joining Dover, he held Engineering and Management roles with RadiSys in Telecommunications and Gaming. He is accepted into Oregon State University’s Council of Outstanding Early Career Engineers, is an Industry Advisor, and prior Chairman of MECOP. He has a Bachelors in Engineering from Oregon State University, a Global MBA from George Fox University, and Professional Certificate from the Executive Innovation Program at Stanford University.

Both of the new Directors are experienced leaders who have important qualities which the Company’s Governance Committee actively sought and recruited. The Board anticipates their extensive knowledge about consumer product development, marketing and sales will be highly valuable to the Company.

 

The current Board of Directors consists of nine members, of which seven are considered to be “independent” directors. Ms. Pierce and Mr. Wendler will stand for election by shareholders at the next Annual Meeting which is expected to be held in the first quarter of calendar 2024.
