On Wednesday, Hormel Foods Corporation named James P. Snee as the company’s newest president and chief operating officer (COO), according to a report from BusinessWire. His appointment will take effect on October 26, 2015. Snee will also hold a position in the Board of Directors after his election.
As COO, the tenth president of the company will manage the company’s five key business segments and operations, which includes Refrigerated Foods, Jennie-O Turkey Store, Grocery Products, Specialty Foods, and International.
Snee held various positions in the company’s different divisions before he slowly worked his way up to become the director of purchasing in 2006, the vice president of affiliated units in 2008, the senior vice president of Hormel Foods International in 2012, and finally his current position.
“Jim’s vast experience in both our core businesses and our emerging growth markets internationally position him exceptionally well to take on the additional responsibilities of president and chief operating officer. Jim is a strong leader and has my confidence and the trust of our board. Under Jim’s direction, the international segment has delivered double-digit sales and earnings growth, expanded its global footprint, and driven impressive growth of our operations in China,” Hormel Foods Corporation’s Chairman and CEO Jeffrey M. Ettinger said.
