“We couldn’t be more pleased by the addition of Mark to our team. His deep industry expertise and strategic agility—alone—make him an excellent fit for our business,” said Jason Logsdon, CEO of Maschhoff Family Foods. “But it’s the additional personal qualities, like his outstanding ability to build and lead teams as well as a fit with our culture, that will help us realize our future growth plans and vision. It’s a truly winning combination for us.”
